PORK CHOPS AND ROASTED PEPPERS
   
Ingredients
4 pork chops, well trimmed
1 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
2 large peppers, red or yellow cut into quarters and deseeded
1-2 shallots, or 1 small onion, diced
1 tbsp. drained capers (optional)
1 fresh chili, chopped
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
   
Directions
Place the chops in a dish. Drizzle olive oil over them and season. Heat a heavy pan. Cook the chops for about 5-6 minutes on each side. While the chops are cooking, place the pepper quarters under a hot grill until the skin blackens.
Remove the peppers and cover with a clean tea towel for a few minutes. The skin will then peel off easily. Dice the peppers.
When the chops are cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm. Add a little extra olive oil to the pan if necessary. Sauté the shallots and peppers. Add the capers, chili, parsley and vinegar and season.
Spoon the pepper mixture over the chops. Perfect served with buttered pasta.
