A delightful dish featuring tender pork chops simmered in a flavorful herb and wine sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to get a good sear.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
In the same skillet, add the bell pepper and mushrooms. Sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cook for a few minutes to combine flavors.
Use fresh tomatoes for a brighter flavor.
Pour in the white wine and sprinkle with oregano. Stir well.
Let the wine simmer slightly to reduce and enhance its flavor.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and simmer until the chops are cooked through and tender.
Check the internal temperature of the pork chops to ensure they are fully cooked.
Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned over them, garnished with fresh oregano if desired.
Pair with a side dish like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
