    Directions

    Season the chops with salt and pepper. "Season" also with sugar, sprinkling judiciously over both sides of the chops, as if it were salt. Heat the oil in a saute pan and brown the chops on both sides. Pour over the wine, and add half the lemon and olives, along with the rosemary. Cover, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and test doneness. Boil down the liquid a little, if necessary, toss in the remaining olives and preserved lemon. Serve with the juices spooned over and a branch of roasted baby tomatoes on the side.

    To roast a branch of cherry tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay the tomatoes on a baking sheet, dribble over a little olive oil, and bake at until the skins have wrinkled and the fruit is soft, 20 minutes to half an hour.

      Wonderful flavors. I added garlic and used kalamata olives instead and fresh lemon. Very easy to prepare. This would be my second time to make it. Served with broiled tomatoes, sweet potatoes and grilled corn. This is one of my daughter's favorite dish! YUMMY!

      Delicious mediterranean flavors. Couldn't find preserved lemon, so I just cooked some sliced lemon peel in olive oil, salt & sugar. Didn't use the tomatoes either, but I'm sure they would be lovely!

      Lovely pork chops which you can taste the wine and lemon. I did not use the tomatoes, but it is a very tasty dish.
