Oh yes, Ashley! 😋 Tomato gravy over pork chops is a classic comfort food — juicy pork chops smothered in a rich, flavorful tomato sauce. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe:
🥩 Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy
🧂 Ingredients:
4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato puree
1 tsp paprika (optional)
1 tsp sugar (to balance acidity)
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Prepare the Pork Chops
Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown pork chops 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Make the Tomato Gravy
In the same skillet, sauté onion until soft and translucent.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in flour if using, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw taste.
Add crushed tomatoes, paprika, sugar, and broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Simmer the Pork Chops
Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the tomato gravy.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, or until pork is cooked through (internal temp ~145°F / 63°C).
Spoon gravy over the chops occasionally to keep them moist.
Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles to soak up that delicious gravy.
💡 Tips:
Add a splash of cream at the end for a creamy tomato gravy.
For a tangier flavor, add 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice.
Leftovers taste amazing the next day — the pork absorbs even more of the tomato flavor!
If you want, I can also share a slow-cooker version that makes the pork chops super tender while letting the tomato gravy become extra rich.
