Smoked Paprika Pork Chops with Bell Pepper and Corn Relish

So I prepped this, and D made it when he got home. We had with the potatoes in the blurb below.
D wanted to know why we had never had this before, because it was super easy and super tasty.
I think the red bell pepper was the reason, as I'm not a huge fan, but if he makes this again, I could become one. Yum!

Smoked Paprika Pork Chops with Bell Pepper and Corn Relish


Accompany with refrigerated potato wedges tossed with garlic powder, ground red pepper, and salt, and roasted until crisp.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon cider 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 red onion and ginger; sauté 2 minutes or until tender. Add chopped red bell pepper, ground coriander, dried thyme, and corn; cook 3 minutes or until the bell pepper is tender, stirring occasionally.
