Method 3 Steps

1

Heat olive oil and/or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chops. Once browned, remove the chops and set aside.
2

In the same skillet, fry the onion and garlic until lightly colored. Add the chopped tomatoes, spices, and salt. Add a drizzle of water if the tomatoes aren't juicy enough, then return the chops to the skillet. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chops are tender and the sauce has thickened.
3

Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley, alongside mashed potatoes (as suggested by the chef), rice, or pasta.
