Recipe Instructions:
-
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Dredge the boneless pork chops in this flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
-
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet. 🍳 Sear each side for about 1 to 2 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
-
Once the pork chops are perfectly browned, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
-
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic 🧄. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, allowing its aroma to infuse into the oil.
-
Next, pour in the vinegar and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir well to loosen up any flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
-
Toss in the chopped plum tomatoes 🍅 and capers into the skillet. Let everything mingle together in a savory symphony of flavors.
-
Return the seared pork chops back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle boil.
-
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the pork chops simmer gently in the flavorful sauce for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are perfectly cooked through. 🍲
-
Once done, remove the lid and behold the masterpiece you’ve created! Serve the Tuscan Pork Chops hot, smothered in the delicious tomato and caper mixture.
-
For a final touch, garnish your dish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley 🌿 if desired. This not only adds a pop of color but also a burst of fresh flavor!
Serving Suggestions:
-
These Tuscan Pork Chops are exquisite when served alongside a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes 🥔 or a medley of roasted vegetables 🥕. The sauce is perfect for drizzling over your choice of sides.
