Pork with Sweet-Sour Peppers and Onions
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 red onions, halved and sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced rosemary
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped mint
- 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch dice
- Eight 4-ounce boneless pork loin chops, about 1/2 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering.
- Add the bell peppers and onions and cook over moderate heat, stirring often, until softened and charred in spots, about 10 minutes.
- Add the currants, vinegar, rosemary, mint and water and cook, stirring, until the liquid is evaporated.
- Season with salt and pepper, cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in another large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering.
- Add the potatoes and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, add the potatoes to the peppers and onions and stir to combine.
- Set the empty skillet over moderate heat.
- When the oil shimmers, season the pork chops with salt and pepper, add them to the skillet and cook over high heat until browned and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
