Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Season 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

Step

Add 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

Step

Stir 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

Step

Stir in the chopped pepperoni. (1 minute)

06

Step

Return 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

Step

Stir in the chopped tomato and cashews. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving. Serve immediately with rice or your favorite side dish.

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.

  • Bernard West

    Next time, I'll double the sauce. Everyone wanted more!

  • Paris Volkman

    The recipe was easy to follow, and the pork came out perfectly tender.

  • Dawson Kris

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

  • Adah Conn

    This was a surprisingly good combination of flavors! I never would have thought to put pepperoni and cashews in a pork sauce, but it really works.

  • Elvie Turcotte

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

  • Kole Schmeler

    I think the key to this recipe is using good quality pepperoni. It really makes a difference.
