Ingredients:

  1. 2 - 5-6 ounce bone in pork rib chops
  2. 1 teaspoons - kosher salt
  3. 1 teaspoons - oregano
  4. 2 tablespoons - extra virgin olive oil, divided
  5. 1 - red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, coarsely chopped
  6. 1 - small onion, coarsely chopped
  7. 2 - garlic cloves, smashed
  8. 1 tablespoons - double concentrated tomato paste
  9. 3/4 cups - red wine
  10. 28 ounces - can diced tomatoes
  11. 1 tablespoons - drained capers
  12. 2 - sprigs oregano, plus leaves

Directions:

Step 1
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt and pepper; sprinkle all over with dried oregano.

Step 2
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook pork chops, undisturbed, until just starting to brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3
Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to pan. Cook bell pepper, onion, and garlic, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until onion is softened and golden, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are coated and paste is darkened slightly, about 1 minute. Add wine, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until wine is reduced by a little more than half, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Mix in diced tomatoes, capers, 2 oregano sprigs, and remaining 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until sauce is slightly thickened, 18–22 minutes.

Step 5
Nestle pork chops into sauce and add any juices that have collected on plate. Spoon a bit of sauce over pork and simmer gently until meat is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°, 6–8 minutes.

Step 6
Divide chops and sauce between plates. (Cut meat from bones and thickly slice if dividing among 4.) Top with oregano and serve with bread.
