Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, stir in the smoked paprika and dried oregano.

Step 6

Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) into the skillet and mix well. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet and nestle them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and let the pork chops simmer for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time.

Step 9

Uncover the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or potatoes.
