Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 large red bell peppers
2 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 1- to 1 1/4-inch-thick bone-in rib pork chops (each about 12 ounces)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Char peppers over gas flame, in broiler, or on grill until charred on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; slice into thin strips. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Mix in flour; sauté 2 minutes. Add bell peppers, wine, vinegar, and capers; cook 1 minute. Add broth. Increase heat; boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 4 minutes. Mix in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before using.)

    Step 2

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush pork on all sides with remaining 4 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Grill until thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 145°F, about 10 minutes per side. Transfer chops to platter. Spoon sauce over.
