Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing until combined.
Deglaze the pan with white wine, if using, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese, if desired, before serving.
Serve hot with a side of pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
