Place over high heat for 1 minute. Add 1 tsp. of the oil. Heat for 30 seconds. Place the chops or cutlets in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tsp. of oil to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the pepper, onion, oregano, and salt. Toss. Cover the pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomatoes (with juice). Stir to mix. Nestle the reserved chops under the vegetables. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 6 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted sideways in the center of a chop registers 160\u00c2\u00b0F and the juices run clear. Uncover and let stand for 3 minutes. Serve with red-pepper flakes and lemon, if desired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Yield: 4 servings<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Calories: 255<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Fat: 12g<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Fiber: 1g<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 tsp. olive oil, divided 4 boneless pork chops or cutlets (about 5 ounces each) 1 C.
