Spiced Pork Chops in Tomato Sauce

Pork chops in tomato sauce is a simple and delicious recipe. The total cooking time is about 1 hour. Actually, I developed this recipe trying to figure out what to do with some left over tomato sauce. I thought a combination of the both might be nice, and it was terrific. The rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper rub makes it super delicious. As always, fresh herbs are the best, but the powdered versions will do in a pinch. I always place a coating of olive oil over the meat before adding the spices to make them adhere better. If you want the sauce a little sweeter, add a little extra sugar to the tomato sauce.

It is important to use a fairly decent cut of chop. A butterfly chop, of course, is always the nicest. If you are in doubt, ask your butcher and tell him or her what you are making. Remember to trim any excess fat away from the meat. Always leave a little, however, as it adds some flavor. Allow you pan to preheat and fry the pork chops for about 4 minutes on each side. If you want the a little on the well done side, allow them cook for about 5 or 5 1/2 minutes.

I like to serve my pork chops in tomato sauce up with some mashed potatoes. The sauce is superb spooned over top of the potatoes and the meat. Give these a try today and let me know the outcome.
