BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH TOMATOES, ANCHOVIES AND ROSEMARY



Braised Pork Chops With Tomatoes, Anchovies and Rosemary image

This is the sort of thing to make when you long for a satisfying, braised beef pot roast, but you don't have the several hours required. Here, pork chops are seared until they're mahogany in color, then tossed in with a quick sauce of tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and anchovies. The whole mess goes in to the oven for about 15 minutes until the chops are cooked through. Don't be put off by the anchovies; they will magically melt into the sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more for seasoning pork
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, more for seasoning pork
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 large rosemary sprigs
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds plum tomatoes (preferably a mix of red and yellow), roughly chopped
6 anchovy fillets
Polenta, noodles or rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse pork chops and pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, place 1 tablespoon oil. Sear chops until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté onion and rosemary until onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add tomatoes, anchovies and remaining salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down, about 8 minutes.
  • Add pork chops to skillet, spooning sauce over chops. Cover skillet and transfer to oven to bake until a thermometer inserted into center of meat reads 145 degrees, about 15 minutes. Allow chops to rest for 5 minutes in pan. If desired, serve with polenta, noodles or rice to soak up sauce.

Anchovies-Rosemary Pork Chops image

This unusual pairing caught my eye one day in an old cookbook of my mother's which I was reading. I love those three ingredients but I wasn't too sure I'd like them together. Well, I'll leave that to you but my finicky husband asked me what made those chops taste soooo good!

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped fresh rosemary
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops
coarse salt and ground black pepper to taste
butter-flavored cooking spray (such as Pam®)

Steps:

  • Whisk anchovies, rosemary, olive oil, vinegar, and garlic together in a large bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag.
  • Season pork chops with coarse salt and ground black pepper; add to the plastic bag with the marinade, squeeze out as much air from bag as possible, and seal. Turn bag a few times to assure chops are coated in marinade.
  • Marinate chops in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Prepare a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
  • Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess moisture. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook under the broiler until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
