Migrants from the Dominican Republic that have settled in New York have adapted to braising pork chops in a sofrito sauce. Although pork chops are normally pan-fried in Dominican homes.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup canola oil
2 double cut pork chops
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 quart Goya sofrito (blended with 1/4 cup raisins)
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup large diced calabasitas
1 cup medium diced yautia
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a rondeaux pot over medium heat. Add pork chop (1 at a time if necessary) and allow to caramelize on 1 side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and repeat on other side. Remove and reserve and repeat with the second pork chop.
  • With both pork chops inside rondeaux, slowly add sofrito. Allow the sofrito to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes. Add vegetable and cook for another 15 minutes or until fork tender. Add more chicken stock if the sauce gets too thick.
