Mmm dinner was sure delicious tonight and I would LOVE to share it with you! For the first time there were NO leftovers and I got the official stamp of approval from my picky boyfriend. Win!
I adapted this recipe from Cooking Light Magazine and it turned out incredible! I chose to use pork chops since the store only had GINORMOUS HUGE pork tenderloins and we didn’t need that much for two people, but it worked just as well. I also left out the anchovies since my boyfriend would pretty much run for the hills if he knew I added them (but I personally don’t think he would have been able to tell.) I’ll use them next time…shh!
By adding fresh rosemary to the pan at the beginning of cooking and then adding some at the end ensures the true freshness you’ll taste once the pork chops are served. Also, the red and yellow bell peppers give the entire meal so much flavor! I served this yummy goodness along side roasted red potatoes since I had fresh rosemary on hand. Everything was delicious!!

This was incredible! I just found your site Friday and have now cooked twice off of it! The first was great and I even blundered it by not having enough tomatoes and subbing incorrectly. Can’t wait to try it how it’s supposed to be! LOVED the peppers in this one!
Kelly no wonder you’ve got all thumbs up! It looks fab!
This dish is SO colorful, and you have to love balsamic vinegar. Yum!
Congrats on making Foodbuzz Top 9! Great job. Your dish looks absolutely gorgeous! I love how colorful it looks!Yum!! : )
Kelly this is lovely. What a great recipe. I think this is one of my faves so far. I can’t eat pork but on a day I decide to throw caution to the wind I am making this. It’s outstanding. Kim
I was looking for something to use my rosemary for. This looks great. I normally use baslsamic vinegar with onions but I love the idea of peppers.
