Smoked Paprika Pork Chop w/ Bell Pepper, and Corn Relish and Roasted Potato Wedges

  • In trying to find a new way to cook pork chops I ran across this, and decided to make it for dinner. Of course I made a few changes here and there, and you are getting my version. My husband really doesn't like pork chops and I have only found one other recipe that he would be willing to eat more than once. He really enjoyed these, and said he looked forward to having them again.  It was super easy, and pretty fast to fix too.
  • What you need for the Pork Chops
  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • 1/3  cup  chopped red bell pepper
  • 1  teaspoon  ground coriander
  • 1/4  teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 1  (15.5-ounce) can no salt-added whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1  teaspoon  red wine vinegar
  • 3/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper, divided
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  smoked sweet paprika
  • 4  (4-ounce) center-cut boneless pork loin chops, trimmed
  • Cooking spray
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped red bell pepper, ground coriander, dried thyme, and corn; cook 3 minutes or until the bell pepper is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in red wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Spoon relish into a bowl.
Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and paprika; sprinkle evenly over pork. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with relish.
