Breaded Pork Chops Pizzaiola Style
Ingredients
2 thick Pork Chops (about 1 inch thick), excess fat trimmed
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cups of sliced mushrooms
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Focaccia, for serving (optional)
Directions
Sprinkle the Pork Chops all over with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Pork Chops and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the garlic to the skillet. Once it sizzles, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes and 3/4 cup water and stir to combine. Bring to a rapid simmer, now add the mushrooms then nestle the Pork Chops in the sauce and simmer, turning once, until cooked through and very tender about 7 minutes. Continue simmering the sauce until thickened, about 3 more minutes. Top the Pork Chops with the sauce and mushrooms & parsley. Serve with focaccia. (Optional)
