Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 (3/4 inch thick) pork loin chops
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup chopped onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced Italian tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup water, if necessary
1 large green bell pepper, cut in 6 pieces

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops, browning on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Place the pork chops on a plate, then drain all but 1 tablespoon of drippings from the skillet. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the tomatoes, then season with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Transfer the pork chops back to the skillet; cover and simmer until the pork chops are tender and no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. Stir in some water if the mixture becomes too dry. Place the bell pepper on top of the pork, then add the reserved mushrooms. Continue to simmer until the bell pepper is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the pork chops are done by cutting into one of them. The meat should be cooked through, with no pink in the center.
  • To make the tomato topping, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. This will give the topping the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil instead. However, fresh basil will give the topping a more vibrant flavor.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately after they are cooked, topped with the tomato topping. This will ensure that the pork chops are juicy and flavorful.
