INGREDIENTS

  • Cooking Oil

    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🍄 2 cups sliced mushrooms
    • 🧅 1 cup chopped onion
    • 6 large green bell pepper slices

  • Meat

    • 6 (3/4 inch thick) pork loin chops

  • Spices and Herbs

    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Aromatics

    • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • Canned Goods

    • 🍅 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced Italian tomatoes, undrained

  • Liquid

    • 💧 ½ cup water (Optional)

STEPS

1

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside until needed.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook until browned, 3 1/2 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet.

3

Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

4

Add pork chops and simmer until tender and no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes, adding water if mixture becomes too dry. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each pork chop should read at least 145°F (63°C).

5

Place a bell pepper slice on top of each pork chop. Add reserved mushrooms and continue to simmer until peppers are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
