Steps:

• Heat oil in a rondeaux pot over medium heat. Add pork chop (1 at a time if necessary) and allow to caramelize on 1 side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and repeat on other side. Remove and reserve and repeat with the second pork chop.
• With both pork chops inside rondeaux, slowly add sofrito. Allow the sofrito to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes. Add vegetable and cook for another 15 minutes or until fork tender. Add more chicken stock if the sauce gets too thick.

SOFRITO(DOMINICAN REPUBLIC)

Steps:

• Roughly cut up all ingredients.
• Toss the wettest ones in a large food processor and give them a couple of quick pulses. This moistness will help process the rest of the ingredients(the tomatoes and tomatillos).
• Next, add the herbs - parsley and cilantro.
• Then, add as many of the other ingredients as you can fit.
• Give the processor several whirs and stirs. Keep adding whatever didn't fit before and pulse until you get a coarse blend. Some sofritos are really chunky, some are like a paste. You decide.
• Season with salt and pepper if you like, but it may be best to season the dish it goes in, in order to have more control.
• Refrigerate and use as needed.
