Ingredients

2 large sweet red peppers, cut into thin rings
1 large green pepper, cut into thin rings
1 large red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
4 bone-in pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick and 7 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

For pepper relish, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the peppers and onion in 1 tablespoon oil for 7 minutes or until onion is tender; drain. Stir in the wine or broth, brown sugar and vinegar. Reduce heat to low; cook until liquid evaporates, about 13 minutes. Remove vegetable mixture and keep warm.
Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, brown pork in remaining oil for 3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 5-6 minutes or until meat juices run clear. Serve with pepper relish.
