How to Make Pork Chops In Tomato Sage Sauce

  1. Heat 4 teaspoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, reserving the juice, and 1 teaspoon of dried sage.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a desired consistency, about 15 minutes.
  4. Set aside the tomato sauce.
  5. In two heavy large skillets, divide the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of butter and add fresh sage leaves.
  6. Cook over medium-high heat until butter melts.
  7. Add 2 pork chops to each skillet.
  8. Cover and cook, turning frequently, until browned, about 10 minutes.
  9. Add 1/4 cup of dry white wine to each skillet.
  10. Boil uncovered until the wine reduces to a glaze, about 5 minutes.
  11. Divide the reserved tomato sauce between the two pans, spreading it evenly over the chops.
  12. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the chops are tender, about 30 minutes more.
  13. Degrease the sauce.
  14. Add reserved tomato juice to thin the sauce if desired.
  15. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Transfer the chops to a serving platter and spoon the sauce generously over them.
  17. Garnish with minced fresh sage before serving.
