ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup flour
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper
6 boneless pork chops (about 1/4-inch thick each)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
5 garlic cloves, split in half
1 large onion, thinly sliced
¹⁄₄ cup sliced antipaste red bell pepper (packed in oil and vinegar)
¹⁄₄ cup sliced hot cherry pepper
¹⁄₄ cup sliced pepperoncini pepper (with 2 T. juice)
¹⁄₂ cup sliced kalamata olive
1 cup chicken broth
¹⁄₂ cup imported white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar

directions

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge chops in flour mixture and shake off excess (dredge just before sautéing or they will become gummy).
In large sauté pan, heat olive oil over over medium heat until haze forms, then add butter. Sauté garlic until lightly golden; discard. Sauté chops in two batches until lightly browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Discard most of the pan drippins, leaving about 2 Tablespoons of reserved liquid. Sauté onion and peppers over medium heat, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned fragments left in the bottom of the pan. Set vegetables aside and remove pan from heat. Return chops to pan in a slightly overlapping pattern add chicken broth and stir. Arrange vegetables over chops and sprinkle olives on top.
In a small bowl, combine vinegar and sugar. Stir mixture together until sugar is completely dissolved (this is best done with your index finger so that you can feel when sugar is dissolved.) Spoon vinegar mixture on top of olive-vegetable mixture.
Cover pan and turn heat to low. Simmer, basting frequently with pan juices, until chops are extremely tender when tested with the tip of a knife (about 15 minutes).
Serve chops on a platter with a border vegetables on top.

I used to spend my summers with my grandmother in Northern Connecticut. She was a wonderful little Norwegian woman that stood about 5 feet high. My grandfather was a Swedish ship captain that stood well over 6 feet tall. My grandmother would wake up at 5 in the morning just to start making her bread (that had been proofing in the oven all evening) I would anxiously await the warm, crusty, tremendously tasty bread spread with home made strawberry jam or any other berry that she might have picked in the neighbors yard. These memories of her and her patience in the kitchen with me made me the cook I am today. Not a day passes when I don't think of her...a smile crosses my face and I know she's in the room with me, making sure her measurements are just right. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
