Ingredients

• 4 to 6 pork chops (bone-in, for the best flavor)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 large celery stalk, diced
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water (for thinning the sauce, as needed)
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brown the Pork Chops
   Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear the chops for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are well-browned and have a nice crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

2. Sauté the Vegetables
   In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced carrot, celery, onion, and minced garlic. Cover the skillet and cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. You want them to be tender and slightly browned, which will help build the base of your sauce.

3. Deglaze the Pan
   Pour in the dry white wine, stirring to deglaze the pan. This will help lift any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, incorporating those flavorful bits into your sauce. Increase the heat to high and let the wine cook for about 3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

4. Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
   Stir in the diced tomatoes, salt, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

5. Simmer the Pork Chops
   Return the browned pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet again and reduce the heat to low. Let the chops simmer in the sauce for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.

6. Prepare the Sauce
   Once the pork chops are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter. To finish the sauce, place half of it into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then return the blended sauce to the skillet. If the sauce is too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water to reach your desired consistency.

7. Serve
   Pour the sauce over the pork chops on the serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped Italian parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
