Pork Chops with Balsamic Vinegar Recipe

I spent the morning helping my mother sort through her options for Medicare supplement insurance. There are so many insurance companies, it can be confusing trying to find the policy that is right for her. I hope we made the right decision.

My husband asked for pork chops tonight so I pulled out an old favorite recipe. The balsamic vinegar adds a great flavor boost.

Pork Chops with Balsamic Vinegar

2 T. olive oil
4 pork chops
2 T. tomato paste
1 cup grape tomatoes cut in half
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cloves minced garlic
salt and pepper
1 t. Italian seasoning
1/2 cup water
Parmesan cheese for topping

Heat oil in large skillet and brown pork chops. Remove. Add the onion and garlic and saute until just tender. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, seasoning, salt and pepper and water. Stir to mix and add pork chops back in. Cover and turn down to simmer. Cook until the pork chops are tender, adding more water if necessary. This will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes depending on thickness of the chops. Remove the chops, and stir the balsamic vinegar into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chops and top with Parmesan cheese.
