For a richer flavor, use bone-in pork chops. Adjust the amount of pepperoni to your preference. A splash of cream at the end can enrich the sauce further. Serve over polenta for a comforting meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepSeason the pork chops with salt and pepper. Sear the pork chops until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the wok and set aside. (8 minutes)
03
StepAdd the minced garlic, onion chunks, and chopped green bell pepper to the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. (7 minutes)
04
StepStir in the chicken broth, white wine, and tomato paste. Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (5 minutes)
05
StepStir in the chopped pepperoni. (1 minute)
06
StepReturn the seared pork chops to the wok. Cover the wok or skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. (15 minutes)
07
StepStir in the chopped tomato and cashews. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through. (3 minutes)
08
StepSpoon the sauce over the pork chops and garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving. Serve immediately with rice or your favorite side dish.

Apr 30, 2025I didn't have any cashews on hand, so I used walnuts instead. It was still delicious!

Mar 7, 2025My family loved this! I used a little less pepperoni because my kids are sensitive to spice, but it was still fantastic.
