GRAMMIE'S ITALIAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Trim the fat off the pork chops, rinse well and pat dry . Cut the pork chops in half or however you need so you can fit them in your pot.
• 2. In a large pot, mix spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, garlic, parsley, basil and spices. If sauce is very thick add a water a few tablespoons at a time until it reaches a slightly thin consistency. Place pork chops into the sauce so they are covered. Bring to a simmer on medium-low heat then turn down to low heat. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Gently stir occasionally, making sure the pork chops stay covered.
• 3. Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms and canned tomatoes and cook another 1 1/2 to 2 hours, gently stirring. Pork will slowly cook and become very tender. This dish is done when it can be easily separated with a fork.
• 4. Using a fork and spoon (I use a large salad fork and wooden stirring spoon) separate the pork so it is in bite size and smaller pieces. Serve hot over pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top.
• 5. If you want to do this in the crockpot, add 1 cup of water to the sauce and double the cook times. Cook on low heat.

GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley in a bowl with your fingertips. Squeeze the juice of the lemon with the lemon half sitting upright. This will help prevent the seeds from falling into the bowl. The lemon juice will spill down over the sides of the lemon and the seeds will remain with the fruit. Squeeze the juice evenly over the salad. If the lemon is under-ripe, microwave it for 10 seconds before you cut into it. Next, sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the salad -- just eyeball it. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, add the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss again. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve.
