Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
14.5 oz chicken broth
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 can 15.5 oz, cannellini beans drained and rinsed
4 well trimmed bone in pork rib chops, each about 1 inch thick

Steps:

Heat 1 Tbsp oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and rosemary. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is golden brown, 6-8 min. In a small bowl, whisk together broth and tomato paste. Pour mixture into skillet, stir in beans and garlic, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are evenly coated and sauce is thickened, 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, generously salt and pepper both sides of pork chops. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp of oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Cook pork, in two batches, if necessary, until just cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Serve on top of bean mixture.
