Cathe'S Easy Tomato Sauce And Port Cutlets
- Ingredients:
- 1 package of pork cutlets or thin pork chops.
- Garlic (to taste, if you like a lot, use more)
- 1 large can of crushed tomatoes.
- 1 medium can of diced tomatoes
- 2 onions sliced very thinly
- 1 can of pitted black olives, sliced.
- 1 bunch of thyme
- 1 bunch of rosemary
- fresh basil
- salt
- pepper
- Olive Oil
- 1/2 stick of butter.
- About 1/12 cups good red wine.
- 1, First, pour about 2 tbs of olive oil in a large skilled. Turn heat on high.
- Brown the chops for a minute or two, until the outside is just nicely browned. Then, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- 2. Next, Place the peeled and sliced onion into the same skillet. Add a little water so the onions don't burn--but you do want them nicely transparent.
- 3, While the onions are cooking, take the garlic and peel it. Either mash the garlic on the cutting board with a knife or, if you have a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic up with some sea sea salt.
- 4. Add the garlic and just mix with the onions for just about a minute. Turn the heat down to medium too.
- 5. Open up the two cans of tomatoes and add to the skillet
- 6. Open up the can of olives and slice them and add to the skillet, also, add some, but not all of the juice from the olives for extra flavor.
- 7. Season with salt, pepper, and add the red wine.
- 8. Turn the heat back to high, and when starts to boil, turn back to medium or med. low. Add the butter and let melt and just give it a stir or two. Adding the butter cuts down on the acidity--this is a trick I learned years ago from a lady names Lucy in Little Italy!
- 9. While the sauce is continuing to cook, chop up the Rosemary, Thyme and Basil. I use a scissor, but use what you want...you really don't need to use fresh if you cannot find them, but it just makes the house smell nice!
- Add the meat, let cook about 20 minutes or until the meat is completely cooked. You may need to turn the burner to low. You know best!
- Serve over pasta!
