PORK CHOPS IN PIZZA SAUCE

Preparation Method :

• Rub the chops with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large frying-pan. Add the chops to the pan, few at a time and fry until they are browned evenly. Transfer them to a plate.
• Leave a thin film of oil from the pan. Add the garlic and herbs and stir to mix. Pour over the wine and bring to the boil.
• Stir in the tomatoes and tomato puree.
• Return the chops to the pan and baste it thoroughly with the sauce.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes, baste it occasionally.
• About 10 minutes before the chops are cooked melt the butter in a frying- pan.
• Add peppers and onion, fry until they are soft. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to the frying- pan containing the meat.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 15- 20 minutes or until the chops are cooked through and tender.
• Transfer the chops to a warmed serving dish. Stir the corn flour mixture into the sauce and cook, stirring constantly, for at least 3 minutes or until it has thickened. Remove the bay leaf.
• Pour the sauce over the chops, and sprinkle over the parsley. Serve at once.
