Active cooking time: 20 mins. Total cooking time: 20 mins. Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1 can diced tomatoes

  • 1 clove garlic, diced

  • (optional) chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp ketchup (15mL)

  • 1 pork chop

  • salt and pepper

  • 2 tbsp flour (16g)

  • 1 egg, whisked, in bowl

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (108g) in bowl

  • cooking oil

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (5mL)

  1. To make the sauce, add the tomatoes and garlic to a pot, along with water or chicken broth and ketchup. Simmer, uncovered, until the volume is reduced by a third. Blend contents in a blender for a really smooth sauce, or mash with a fork for something chunky. Set aside.

  2. Season the pork liberally on both sides with salt and pepper. Other seasonings, e.g. paprika, can be included if desired.

  3. Sprinkle flour onto the pork, then dip it into the egg bowl, and then dip into the breadcrumbs.

  4. Heat 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) of oil in pan, and deep fry the pork on both sides until golden brown (approximately 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the pork thickness)

  5. Allow the pork to drain and cool on a wire rack or paper towels for a minute or until you can touch it without burning your fingers. Slice the pork into strips and plate along with a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce.
