Ingredients

3 inch-thick pork loin chops
1 12 teaspoons salt
12 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
12 teaspoon ground ginger
14 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1 garlic clove, minced
13 cup tomato-based salsa
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 12 tablespoons brown sugar
34 cup boiling water

Directions

1

Trim the fat from the chops and pound slightly to flatten.
2

Mix the salt, pepper, ginger and flour.
3

Dip the flattened chops, both sides, into the mixture.
4

Heat the oil in a deep skillet (with an oven-proof handle) and brown the chops on both sides.
5

I find a 12-inch seasoned cast-iron skillet works best.
6

Add the onions and garlic, and cook 5 minutes.
7

If you want to, pour off any remaining fat.
8

Mix together the salsa, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar and water; add to the skillet.
9

Cover and bake in a 375 degree oven 50 minutes, removing the cover for the last 10 minutes.
