Italian Style Braised
Pork Chops
JUICY, TENDER PORKThe first time I had these Italian style braised pork chops at my Uncle's house, I had to have the recipe for my family. I loved when he pulled out the gallon of homemade wine. It just made the meal so much more Italian.
Braised pork chop is a simple dish that can be served on a nice bed of fried polenta or on top of creamy risotto.
If you have the homemade wine please use it. If not, a great bottle of Barolo or Amarone will work perfectly.
Savor this one. You'll be frequently including it in your family gatherings.
