For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of dry red wine to the sauce along with the tomatoes. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use crushed tomatoes or tomato puree instead of whole tomatoes. Serve these stewed pork chops over your favorite pasta, polenta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for an extra touch of freshness.
