Ingredients

  • 2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 Coles Australian Pork Loin Chops
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Creamy corn

  • 3 corn cobs, husks and silk removed
  • 30g butter, divided
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red capsicum, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) thickened cream
  • 1 tbs finely chopped chives

Method

STEP 1 

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, garlic powder, 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper and 2 tsp sea salt flakes. Reserve 1 tsp of the spice mixture in a bowl. Brush the pork with the oil and sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture.

STEP 2

Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill on medium-high. Add the pork and cook for 4 mins each side or until lightly charred and an instant-read meat thermometer registers 60°C when inserted into the centre of the pork. Transfer the pork to a platter. Cover with foil and set aside for 5 mins to rest.

STEP 3 

To make the creamy corn, using a large knife, cut down the side of the corn to release the kernels. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Melt 20g butter in the pan. Add the onion, capsicum and reserved 1 tsp spice mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until the vegetables soften. Add the corn kernels and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 mins or until the corn is tender. Stir in the stock and cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 mins or until the sauce reduces slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 10g butter. Season.

STEP 4 

Divide the corn mixture and pork evenly among serving plates and sprinkle with chives to serve.
