Steps:

• Seasoning pork: Season the pork with a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, and oregano.
• Cooking: Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the pork and brown. To brown you must let the meat juices evaporate and brown once they evaporate.Add 3 tablespoons of water and cook covered over medium-low heat until the meat is tender, stirring and adding water by tablespoons as needed to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom.Once the meat is tender (between 20 to 40 minutes depending on the cut and quality) uncover and let all the liquid evaporate.
• Cooking vegetables: Once the liquids evaporate, add the garlic and stir for half a minute. Add the onion and cook, stirring until it starts to turn translucent.Add the bell pepper and tomato and stir to combine. Incorporate the tomato sauce and 1 cup of water. Cook until the liquids reduce and you have a thick sauce.Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in the parsley.

TOMATO BRAISED SICILIAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 F
• Season the pork chops on each side with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper. Add as much or little pepper as you like, but I always advise going a little heavier than you think on the salt because it never seems to be enough when it's cooked.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on each side for 2 minutes.
• Transfer the pork chops to a tray while you start the tomato sauce.
• Add the chopped onions and garlic to the large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and saute for 1 minute or until fragrant. *add more olive oil if needed
• Add the hand-crushed tomatoes and half the basil to the pan and bring the sauce to a light boil.
• Add the pork chops back to the pan. The tomato should come close to covering the pork chops. It's okay if it does cover them.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 2 hours and 15 minutes at 325 degrees.
• Reseason the sauce as needed and add the remainder of the basil to the sauce.*If the sauce is too thick add a little water. If the sauce is not thick enough you can let it simmer for another 20-30 minutes on the stovetop or back in the oven.
• Remove the finished pork chops from the pan and serve with pasta, rice or potatoes. Save the extra sauce, it's amazing!
