Follow The Directions

01

Step
4 mins

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add the seasoned pork chops to the hot skillet and sear until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. (8 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, capers (with their liquid), rosemary, red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil. Stir well to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour any accumulated juices from the plate of pork chops into the simmering sauce, stirring to incorporate. Return the browned pork chops to the skillet and nestle them into the sauce. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently until the pork chops are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

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.
