Pork Chops

Sauce

Method

Pork Chops Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Chops

    Rub the pork chops with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Chops

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the pork chops, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour in the white wine and sprinkle in the dried oregano. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Add Pork Chops Back

    Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

Vesuvio Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender, then drain.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Potatoes

    In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary, sauté for 1 minute.

  3. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the boiled potato wedges to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the broth has mostly evaporated.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the pork chops topped with the wine sauce alongside the Vesuvio potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
