Pork and Tomato Sauté

This is such a quick dish and packs a lot of flavor!! This was the appreciation hug from my son.

Ingredients:

• 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided

• 4 (6-ounce) bone-in center-cut loin pork chops, trimmed (about 1/2 inch thick)

• Salt and pepper

• 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups grape tomatoes

• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Directions:

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chops evenly salt and pepper. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove pork from pan.

Add remaining oil, shallots, vinegar, and garlic to pan; sauté 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add tomatoes to pan and season with salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until tomatoes begin to soften. Sprinkle with basil. Serve tomato mixture with pork.
