Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Pound the pork chops to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Pork Chops

    Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each pork chop in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Pan Fry the Pork Chops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the diced sweet Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Blister the Long Hots

    Add the long hot peppers to the skillet and cook until blistered and charred, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the San Marzano tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and cooked sausage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a pork chop on each plate, top with the sausage and tomato sauce mixture, and add the blistered long hots. Finish with shredded provolone cheese on top.
