BROILED PORK CHOPS WITH YELLOW-PEPPER PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches from heating element. Toss bell pepper and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and red-pepper flakes on a rimmed baking sheet, gently squeezing tomatoes with your hands to release juices; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer. Rub chops with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Place atop vegetables.
• Broil 4 minutes; flip chops. Scatter olives and capers evenly over vegetables. Broil until chops are browned in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chops (avoiding bones) registers 138 degrees, 4 to 6 minutes more. Scatter generously with basil. Serve pork, vegetables, and pan juices with bread.
