Heat 2 T. of
the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium
heat. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and
pepper. Add 2 pork chops to the skillet and cook
until they are browned and an instant-read
thermometer inserted horizontally into the chop
registers 160°F, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Transfer the pork chops to a plate and tent with
foil to keep them warm. Repeat with the
remaining 2 pork chops, adding more oil to the
pan as needed. |

Add onions
to the same skillet and sauté over medium heat
until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the
tomatoes with their juices, herbes de Provence,
and ˝ tsp. of red pepper flakes. Cover and
simmer until the flavors blend and the juices
thicken slightly, stirring occasionally, about
18 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt
and more red pepper flakes if you like is
spicier. Return the pork chops and any
accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet
and turn the pork chops to coat with the sauce.
Heat until warmed through, a minute or so; do
not overcook the chops! |

***Hey,
This One's a Keeper!- would
make it again. "This
is such a simple recipe that I didn't really have high hopes that it
would be that great. Hubby loved it, and even my picky kids ate
it!"
