Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 boneless center-cut pork chops (3/4 inch thick; 4 to 5 ounces each)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons red pepper jelly
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 1 cup frozen lima beans
- 3 ears of corn, husked
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in red pepper jelly and mustard; raise heat to high. Turn chops until glazed and cooked through, 3-6 more minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine lima beans with 2 tablespoons water, cover, and microwave until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Cut kernels from corn; scrape cobs for milk.
- In another skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Add lima beans, corn (with milk), bell pepper, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in butter and 2 tablespoons water until melted. Off heat, mix in 2 tablespoons chives.
- Plate pork, drizzle with pan juices, and serve with succotash topped with remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
