Simmered Pork Chops In Spicy Tomato Sauce
Today I made pork chops simmered in a spicy tomato sauce. I have been making this recipe for my loved ones for years. I make these pork chops at least once a week. This recipe has become a favorite for all of those who have tasted them. You can pair this juicy chops with some Rice and Beans (moro), which by the way with the delicious sauce in this pork chops is heavenly tasty. I added some jalapenos to the sauce this is optional if spicy foods are not your thing. To season the pork chops I’m using this Sofrito Recipe. This sofrito is made with a combination of fresh herbs and spices that infuse any meal with lots of Authentic Caribbean flavor. If you are in a rush and can’t make the sofrito just combine 2 garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper to season the chops. I highly recommend using the sofrito which is one seasoning you can keep using for weeks.
Ingredients you’ll need
- 4 to 6 pork chops cut in small pieces ( 1 and ½ pounds)
- My Sofrito
- Salt
- Tomato sauce
- Water (as needed)

- Cilantro
- Jalapeno peppers for some spicy kick!
How to make these Pork chops
First, cut the pork chops in small pieces and trimmed the fat (optional). Proceed to season the pork with my Sofrito for those amazing Caribbean flavors. Trust me you are going to love this sofrito.
In a nonstick pan, over medium-high heat, add one teaspoon of oil and place the pork chops. Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until a golden color is obtained.
