Pork chops are one of our favorite weeknight dinner proteins. They're flavorful and versatile and cook quickly; this whole dish comes together in under half an hour. The pork chops are nicely complemented by red onions, bell peppers, garlic, ginger, cremini mushrooms, creamy coconut milk, brown sugar for a little sweetness, and curry paste for some heat. If you've never used it before, Thai yellow curry paste is the mildest variety of curry paste, but it is still quite spicy. If you’re concerned about the spice level, you should start with 2 teaspoons of curry paste in this recipe and add to taste.
