Smothered Pork chops

2 thick loin pork chops
1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger (ginger paste preferably)
1/8 teaspoon of freshly grated garlic (ginger paste preferably)
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
¼ cup of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, cilantro and thyme
½ cup of chicken broth
½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon of kosher salt
2 tablespoons of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of tomato paste
3 tablespoons of oil
1 big shallot or small onion chopped

 Directions

 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2) Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, ginger and garlic paste. Let it marinate for an hour if possible.

3) Dust the pork chops in the flour.

4) Heat the oil in a large oven-proof pan over high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides until brown (about 3-4 minutes).

5) Transfer the pork chops to an oven baked dish. Bake the chops for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the thinness of the pork chops.

6) In the same pan that was used to sauté the pork chop, sauté the shallot until brown, then add the tomato paste and the mixture of chopped parsley, cilantro and thyme.

7) Add the broth and white wine vinegar. Deglaze the pan, scraping to incorporate any brown bits. Reduce the liquid by half. Cook for about 4 minutes, add the tablespoon of butter.

8) Transfer the pork chops into the sauce, add the ground paper. Serve warm.

 NOTE: This recipe is perfect with spicy macaroni and cheese for any radicchio mango salad.
