Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes (diced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and dried oregano to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the pork chops and tomato mixture. Cover again and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the cheese to slightly melt.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
