Green Chile Puttanesca Pork Chops
The heat of pickled chiles brings a welcome zing that integrates well with the salty elements of puttanesca and acts like a counterweight to rich pork chops.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place 1 cup all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl. Season four ½"-thick pork rib chops, preferably bone-in (1½–2 lb.), with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; lightly dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook pork chops until deep golden brown underneath, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Turn; cook until light golden on other side, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium; pour remaining 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil into pan. Add 1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings, and 8 garlic cloves, crushed, and cook, stirring often, until softened and light golden around the edges, 3–⏱️ 4 minutes. Add remaining 2 tsp. all-purpose flour; cook, stirring constantly, until aromatics are coated, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add ½ cup pitted Castelvetrano or other green olives, ¼ cup halved or sliced pickled jalapeños or guindilla peppers, 2 Tbsp. drained capers, and 1 cup water and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits, until sauce is simmering and beginning to thicken, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup fresh lemon juice and 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces, and swirl pan until butter is incorporated. Taste sauce; season with salt and add more jalapeños and/or some brine if needed.
