Fresh Corn Succotash & Pan Fried Pork Chops

When it comes to cooking, I try to do it in the simplest way possible.  I am all about semi-homemade.  I have too much going on to deal with 101 ingredients, steps, methods and no time!  This recipe though, is not semi-homemade and so easy.  There is a very short list of ingredients (some of which you probably already have!) and even shorter list of directions.  I was so excited to try out my T-Fal Caldero from celebrity chef Ingrid Hoffmann's Simply Delicioso line because it is the only the second new pan I've ever had in my life!  My mom handed down her pots & pans to me when they moved to Texas so I never knew the luxury of new pots & pans till now.

We opted for a lighter meal on Superbowl Sunday.  On the menu: Fresh Corn Succotash and Pan Fried Pork Chops.  I wanted to relax, enjoy the game and not feel like a bloated mess on the couch.

I made the succotash first and it cooked so well, I was in kitchen heaven!  The simple but bright flavors of the veggies were so good!  I grew up on pan fried pork chops but my mama made it with soy sauce. I went a little healthier and used lemon.  I didn't want to call them Greek pork chops but they are definitely Greek inspired.  Yum!

I have used the Caldero pot to cook everything since Sunday - I am in love with it!  It is a breeze to use and clean!  Look below to see how to get your own for FREE and for my simple recipes!  Enjoy!
