Step 2

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the

skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops,
browning on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Place the
pork chops on a plate, then drain all but 1
tablespoon of drippings from the skillet. Stir in the
garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has
so#ened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the tomatoes, then season with basil,

oregano, salt, and pepper. Transfer the pork chops
back to the skillet; cover and simmer until the pork
chops are tender and no longer pink in the center,
about 45 minutes. Stir in some water if the mixture
becomes too dry. Place the bell pepper on top of
the pork, then add the reserved mushrooms.
Continue to simmer until the bell pepper is tender,
5 to 10 minutes.

Cook's Note

Don't add the green pepper wedges until your

chops are done, otherwise, they will turn to mush.

The secret to moist pork chops is to use bone in

chops. The boneless chops dry out during the
simmering process.

These pork chops were tender and juicy and had a lot of
flavor. We loved them! I followed the recipe except for the
mushrooms (didn't have any) and I le# out the salt
(personal preference). This is a terrific quick and easy
weeknight dinner that everyone will love.

Delicious! I scaled this to 2 servings, but made half of the

sauce. I used a mix a colored peppers and sautéed them
separately, topping the chops with them when plating.

I've made this a quite few times so now I know what

changes need to be made. I make 2 chops but use a
whole can of tomatoes. There just isn't enough sauce and
adding water dilutes it so use more tomatoes, about
double the amount. The cook time is way too much. I…

Added more mushrooms to make it a whole meal so I
didn't have to make a side of veggies. Granted, if you use
really thick chops, you may want to simmer them longer

I absolutely loved these pork chops! The only thing I did

Very good, easy to make and presents nicely. I did use

bone in chops so they didn't dry out and added red wine
in place of the water for a tad more flavor. Wine for the
sauce and wine for the cook. Doesn't get much better
than that! Served over polenta and with a simple side…

These pork chops are very good. I use diced tomatoes

with green chilies instead of the regular tomatoes and
added black greek olives.
