Add the tomato soup, vinegar and brown sugar to the small frying pan, stirring well until well blended. Cook over low heat for five minutes, strain. Arrange pork chops in a heated serving dish, place pineapple rings around the outside and drizzle the sauce over the pineapple. Add a little extra vinegar to the chutney, pour over the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped shallots and serve with Parsley  Rice.
Method: Place rice in a large saucepan of boiling salted water to separate the rice grains. Toss rice with finely chopped parsley and place in a bowl lined with crisp lettuce leaves.
