Pork Chops Diablo

Total time: 30 minutes
     Diablo or deviled usually means spicy, often hot and always full of rich, complex flavors.  These zesty pork chops are a perfect example. The ones I get are quite thin.  You may need to increase the cooking time if you are using very thick chops.

 Ingredients:

• 2 - 4 pork chops, depending on size, 12oz (360gr) total
• 1 onion
• 2 tbs chili powder
• 1/4 cup flour
• 4 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup (8oz, 240ml) tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) beef stock (broth)
• 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 1 tbs cornstarch (maizena) dissolved in 2 tbs water

 Instructions:

• Roughly chop onion.
• Combine flour and 1 tbs chili powder in plastic food bag. 
• Add pork chops and toss to coat.
• In nonstick skillet, large enough to hold the chops, heat 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat.
• Add chops and sauté about 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
• Remove and set aside.
• Add remaining 2 tsp oil and the remaining 1 tbs chili powder.
• Sauté for 1 minute, then add onions. 
• Sauté about 5 minutes until onion starts to brown.
• Add tomato sauce, broth, Worcestershire, mustard and bring to a boil.
• Add cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring constantly until thickened.
• Reduce heat to low and return chops to pan.
• Cover, and simmer chops until done, about 10 minutes, turning once.
