Categories     Pasta     Pepper     Pork     Stir-Fry     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 14

Pre-Thawed Pork Chops (number depends on how many are being served)
Pasta (I tend to use fusilli)
Bell Pepper (I tend to use red)
Basil (preferably fresh)
Oregano (preferably fresh)
Garlic
Sugar
Salt
Black Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Rum
Jarred Pasta Sauce (or tomato paste)
Salsa

Steps:

  • Firstly, heat a deep pan and add olive oil. Once oil is up to temperature, add chopped bell pepper, garlic, and a dash of salt. Begin boiling the pasta. Roast peppers until they begin to brown. Add a dash or two of sugar, balsamic vinegar, oregano, basil, and rum. Once the mix has formed a glaze on the peppers, trim the fat from the pork chops and place them in this pan. Add black pepper and a dash more balsamic vinegar. Cook the chops until done through and add pasta sauce and salsa. Heat until boiling, simmer, and add strained pasta. Mix and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness: The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
