Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (bone-in or boneless) pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 medium (sliced into thin half-moons) onion
- 4 cloves (minced) garlic
- 4 medium (diced) fresh tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) red chili flakes
- 0.5 cups (crumbled) feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 0.25 teaspoons of red chili flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and created a chunky sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors and ensure the pork is fully cooked.
Sprinkle 0.5 cups of crumbled feta cheese over the pork chops and tomato mixture. Cover the skillet again for 2-3 minutes to allow the feta to warm and soften slightly.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops hot with the tomato mixture spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
