I was going through my old Cl magazines when I ran across this recipe and tried it today. It was very good, especially the corn. It wasn't exactly spicy but peppers or spices could be added (which I will do the next time) to jazz it up a little. The fresh corn was very good cooked in this way and went very well with the pork flavor. (I used pork tenderloin instead of chops since I needed something easier to chew due to dental work.)I added the corn milk to the corn in the skillet even though the recipe didn't specify it. I liked the extra liquid.

Huh, I didn't even notice that. :o I guess that's what happens when the resident baker goes in search of savory recipes. :rolleyes: Thanks for catching that, Susan!

Well, I tend to read through a recipe before I print it just to make sure it's feasible for me. We love pork chops so I wasn't too worried but then I noticed at the top that Elinor said it wasn't too spicy but I thought 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper should have added some heat...

Went looking over at the Home Page:


Pork Sautè with Spicy Corn

Here, the corn kernels infuse the milk, giving it extra body and corn flavor.


3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears)
3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
8 (2-ounce) boned center-cut loin pork chops (1/4 inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
Cooking spray
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon finely chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Combine corn kernels and milk in a large saucepan. Bring the corn mixture to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Strain the corn mixture through a sieve over a bowl, reserving liquids and solids.
Sprinkle pork chops with black pepper. Place reserved corn liquid in a shallow dish. Dip one side of each chop in corn liquid; dredge in flour.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Place 4 pork chops, floured sides down, in pan, and cook 2 minutes. Turn the pork chops over, and cook 2 minutes or until done. Repeat the procedure with 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining pork chops. Set the pork chops aside, and keep warm.

Add onions to skillet, and sautè for 30 seconds over medium-high heat. Add reserved corn solids and peanuts; sauté 4 minutes. Add soy sauce, sugar, and red pepper; sauté 4 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Place 2 pork chops on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1/2 cup corn mixture.

DH does all the cooking, so i just assume anything is feasible for him and copy all the recipes that sound good to me. :D

Thanks for checking the home page for the recipe! I searched the BB, but I don't subscribe anymore so I couldn't search the recipe finder.

Thanks for correcting the recipe, Sneezles. That's what I get for typing so fast and not reading it over. Now I'll have to correct my own recipe! :D :D

Kari,
I served a green salad and French bread with the pork and corn.
