Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Grill the Pork Chops

    Grill the pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from the grill and let rest.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble the bacon, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Chanterelles

    In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add butter and sauté the chanterelle mushrooms until golden, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cream the Sweet Corn

    Add the sweet corn to the skillet with chanterelles and stir. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. If desired, add a splash of water or cream to make it creamy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    To serve, place the grilled pork chops on a plate, top with the creamed corn mixture, sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and garnish with chopped scallions.
