How to Make Italian Ized Pork Chops
- Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Add 1 small onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 50-60 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and easily fall off the bone.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more chicken broth. If it is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
- Optional: Stir in 1 (4 ounce) can of sliced mushrooms during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Serve the Italian-Ized pork chops over cooked noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
