Pork Chops with Pineapple Relish

Ingredients:

•  1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple 
•  1/2 cup chopped sweet onion 
•  2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh serrano chile, including seeds 
•  1 teaspoon chopped thyme 
•  1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar 
•  1 teaspoon coriander seeds 
•  2 (1-inch-thick) boneless pork loin chops 
•  2 tablespoons olive oil 
•  2 tablespoons dark rum

     Toss together pineapple, onion, chile, thyme, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grind coriander seeds in an electric coffee/spice grinder (or crush with flat side of a knife). Pat pork dry; sprinkle all over with coriander, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then saute pork, turning once, until well browned and just cooked through but still juicy, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork to plates. Add pineapple mixture and rum to skillet and saute, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Serve pork with relish.
