Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork loin chops
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
19 ounces tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced

Steps:

  • Slash the edges of the pork chops to prevent curling.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat and brown the pork.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Drain the fat from the pan and add the remaining oil.
  • Cook the onion, garlic, pepper, red pepper flakes and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and mash with a potato masher.
  • Add the olives and capers and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up the brown bits.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Return the chops and any juices to the pan and add the basil.
  • Cover and simmer until the juices run clear when the pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 10 minutes.
