Busy Mom's Pork Chops - A quick recipe for that Large Batch of Italian Tomato Sauce you made for the freezer. Makes 4 servings
Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet.
Wash 4 bone-in pork chops (8 ounces each) and pat dry with a paper towel.
Season with 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar (gives them a nice brown color, and sauté over low-medium heat approximately 3 minutes per side.
Remove chops and add 3 cloves sliced garlic
2 sweet red peppers (not too large) cut into 1-inch pieces and
1 seeded and chopped jalapeno chile pepper (those little green ones).
Reduce heat to medium and sauté 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in 1/2 cup alcaparrado (olive-pimiento-caper mix in the Goya section)
1 quart (16 ounces) pre-made Marinara Sauce and 1/4 cup water.
Bring to a simmer and add pork chops.
Cover and simmer on medium-low for 30 minutes, basting occasionally.
Check seasoning.
Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and serve with cooked white rice.
Cook's Tip: If you want, you can add the rice to the dish plus more water and salt. For example 1/2 cup of rice would require 1 cup of water. If rice is not cooked after time required, add some hot water from your teapot, cover and cook a little longer.
