Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the pork fillets dry with paper towels. Cut the fillet into individual chops if not already done.
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Press the rosemary into the meat to ensure it sticks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix together the canned tomatoes, pickle relish, and capers.
- Once the pork chops are seared, take the skillet off the heat.
- Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the pork chops in the skillet.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should be 145°F or 63°C).
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer everything to a baking dish before placing it in the oven.
- Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the stewed tomato, caper, and pickle relish mixture from the skillet.
Tips:
- Ensure you finely chop the rosemary and garlic for a more even distribution of the flavors on the pork fillet.
- Sear the pork chops on high heat to achieve a golden crust before reducing the heat to cook through.
- For added depth of flavor, allow the pork to marinate in rosemary and olive oil for at least an hour before cooking.
- Use good quality canned tomatoes to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
- Adjust the amount of pickle relish according to your taste preference for a perfect balance of tanginess.
Cooking this Rosemary-crusted pork chops with stewed tomatoes, capers, and pickle relish doesn’t just yield a delectable meal but also creates an inviting fragrance that will draw everyone to the table.
