Pork Loin Chops With Pineapple Relish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh serrano chilies, including seeds
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon coriander seed
2 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch-thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dark rum

Preparation

Toss together pineapple, onion, chile, thyme, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
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.
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then saute pork, turning once, until well browned and just cooked through but still juicy, 6 to 10 minutes.
Transfer pork to plates. Add pineapple mixture and rum to skillet and saute, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Serve pork with relish.
