Ingredients
6 boneless pork loin chops (7 ounces each)
1 recipe Basic Marinade
1/2 pineapple, peeled and cored, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 heads butter or Boston lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 3 limes for garnish

Cut open two sides of a resealable plastic bag. Place 1 chop in bag; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat pounder. Transfer to a nonmetal container. Repeat with remaining chops. Add marinade. Chill 2 hours.
Heat a grill or grill pan. Brush pineapple with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until browned, about 4 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer to cutting board; cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
Remove pork from marinade; season with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through and browned on both sides,1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Combine lettuce, cilantro, lime juice, remaining olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl; toss to combine. Serve with pork paillards, chopped pineapple, and halved limes.
