Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 pork chops (each about an inch thick)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 -3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bunch scallion, cut into one-inch pieces
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
28 ounces can diced fire-roasted tomatoes

Steps:

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Season the pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and sear them in the hot pan until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops to a plate and cover them with foil.
To the same pan the chops were cooked in, add the garlic and scallions. Cook until the scallions begin to get tender, 3-4 minutes.
To the pan with the scallions, add the vinegar, brown sugar and tomatoes. Bring the sauce up to a bubble and add the pork chops back inches Finish cooking the pork chops in the sauce, 3-4 minutes. (If your chops are really thick, cover the pan with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil.).
