Pork Chops alla Pizzaiola

 

 

Great weeknight dinner dish...
 

3 Tbs 

 

extra-virgin olive oil

 

Four inch-thick 

 

bone-in center-cut pork loin chops (about 12 ounces each)

 

 

 

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

1 large 

 

onion, thinly sliced

 

28 ounce 

 

can diced tomatoes in juice

 

2 tsp 

 

herbes de Provence

 

˝ tsp 

 

crushed dried red pepper flakes, or more to taste

 

2 Tbs 

 

chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

 

 

1

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.

2

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!

3

Place 1 pork chop on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

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!"
