Sunday Dinner at Sassy's House ~ Salsa Pork Chops

One of my favorite entrees - salsa pork chops.  Sometimes I bake them in the oven, today I left them in the skillet to simmer.  Delicious!  Also on my plate was a small cob of sweet corn, green and yellow beans cooked with onion, and a potato with sour cream.  All veggies from my garden.  I guessed there was not a Sunday dinner meal served in any restaurant in town that tasted better.  And this plate of food cost less than $2.

I mixed up fresh salsa to cook on top of the chops.  I have no specific recipe, just what I happen to have on hand.  I was going to add poblano pepper, but I forgot.  Of course, fresh garden tomatoes are the best.  To change it a bit, leave out the salsa-type ingredients and use all Italian seasonings instead.

Sassy's Salsa Pork Chops

3 pork chops
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
a few dashes of dried basil
a few dashes of ground black pepper
a dash of dried oregano

Brown chops on both sides in large nonstick skillet.  Stir together remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Spoon equal amounts of tomato mixture over each chop.  Cover and simmer until chops are cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on thickness of chops.
