Pork Chops With Pineapple Relish

• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce

• 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 8 thin bone-in pork chops (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds)

2. Meanwhile, puree 3/4 cup pineapple with the lime juice, peanut butter, fish sauce and jalapeno until smooth.

4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper.
6. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

8. Transfer the chops to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
9. Repeat with the remaining chops, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons oil as necessary.
10. Drain the onion and add to the pineapple relish.
