A delightful twist on a classic dish, these pork chops are cooked in a rich tomato herb sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sear the pork chops properly.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet.
Cook the pork chops until they are golden brown on each side.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside, covering them with foil to keep warm.
Letting the pork chops rest helps retain their juices.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, herbes de Provence, and red pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly.
Cover the skillet to prevent the sauce from splattering.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them with the sauce.
Ensure the pork chops are fully coated for maximum flavor.
Serve the pork chops on plates, topped with the tomato sauce and sprinkled with fresh parsley.
Serve with a side of your choice, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
