Pork Loin Chops with Pineapple Relish Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh serrano chile, including seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 2 (1-inch-thick) boneless pork loin chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  1. Toss together pineapple, onion, chile, thyme, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Grind coriander seeds in an electric coffee/spice grinder (or crush with flat side of a knife). Pat pork dry; sprinkle all over with coriander, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  3. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté pork, turning once, until well browned and just cooked through but still juicy, 6 to 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer pork to plates. Add pineapple mixture and rum to skillet and sauté, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Serve pork with relish.
