- .RZ "PORK CHOPS ITALIANO" "Pork chops simmered in tomato and onion"
- Apologies to anyone of Italian descent\(emI'm sure this dish will seem
- a slander on your culinary heritage, but that's the way I learned this
- recipe.
- .PP
- As much as I like grilled pork chops, I enjoy a change.
- This recipe isn't \fIhaute cuisine\fR, but I think it is particularly
- good when you get home from work on a cold, wet evening. The preparation
- is fairly quick, and it leaves you time to warm up in front of the fire
- with a cup of tea and read a newspaper.

- .SK 1
- Heat the oil in a saucepan or frying pan (choose one with a
- lid). Season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper to taste.
- Brown the chops quickly on both sides. Remove from the pan.
- .SK 2
- Fry the onions until soft, but not brown. You may need to add a little more
- fat, but I prefer to use as little as possible.
- .SK 3
- Return the chops to the pan, add the tomato soup, green pepper, and bay
- leaf. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 30\-40 minutes, or until
- the chops are cooked.
- .NX
- I serve this with rice. If you like brown rice, it has the advantage of
- taking as long to cook as the rest of the meal, so you get an uninterrupted
- half-hour.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 15 minutes preparation, 40 minutes cooking.
- .I Precision:
- No need to measure.
