Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4-inch thick and 4 ounces each )
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups stewed tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • Minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, one at a time, and shake to coat.
  2. In a large skillet, brown pork chops, over medium-high heat, on both sides in oil. Remove chops and keep warm.
  3. In the drippings, saute onion, green pepper, celery and garlic until vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, sugar, thyme, pepper and hot pepper sauce.
