Pork Chops Scarpariello - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 red bell peppers
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped, divided
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 lbs pork chops (4 1-inch thick)
1 medium onion, chopped
4 4 green cherry peppers (1/4 pounds total) or 2 fresh red jalapenos, finely chopped (1/4 pounds total)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat leaf parsley

Preparation

Roast bell peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat (or on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat), turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and tightly cover with plastic wrap. Let stand, covered, 20 minutes. Peel, then halve lengthwise, discarding stems and seeds. Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces.
While peppers stand, mince and mash half of garlic to a paste with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Combine with rosemary, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Rub onto chops.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Saute pork, turning once, until pale golden in spots and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
Add roasted peppers to skillet with onion, remaining garlic, cherry peppers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add wine and broth and boil until liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Add meat juices from plate and remove skillet from heat. Add butter, stirring until incorporated. Stir in lemon juice, parsley, and salt to taste and spoon over chops.
