For a richer flavor, brown the pork chops in the skillet before adding the onions and garlic. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers to the stew. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste during the simmering process. Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.

StepPrepare the Pork: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pork chops and boil for 5 minutes. Remove the pork and set aside to cool. Reserve 1 cup of the broth for later use. Once cool enough to handle, cut the pork into bite-size pieces. (Total time: ~15 minutes)

03
StepSauté Aromatics and Pork: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the bite-size pork pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. (Total time: ~10 minutes)
04
StepSimmer the Stew: Add the diced tomatoes and the reserved cup of broth to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. (Total time: ~10 minutes)
