Skillet Pork Chops With Buttered Corn

Skillet Pork Chops With Buttered Corn
Armando Rafael for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Rebecca Jurkevich.

Recipe by Ali Slagle | Total time: 30 minutes

Bronzed pork chops basted with butter, rosemary and shallot, plus corn plumped in the rendered drippings and browning butter — it doesn’t get better than this. Flipping the pork chops often helps them cook evenly but not overcook, while the splash of butter and aromatics adds a layer of juiciness and aroma. Corn goes into the skillet, sweetening in the heat and soaking up all that savory flavor. While this is great with fresh corn, you can also use 2 cups of frozen, unthawed kernels. Serve alongside tomatoes vinaigrette, roasted potatoes or an arugula salad.
