A delightful twist on a classic Cuban dish, these pork chops are slow-cooked to perfection with a rich and flavorful sauce.
Prepare the sofrito by finely chopping the onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
Chop the ingredients as finely as possible to ensure they blend well into the sauce.
Layer the pork chops in the crock pot.
Arrange the pork chops in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, oregano, and cumin. Mix well.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the sauce over the pork chops in the crock pot.
Ensure the sauce covers the pork chops completely for maximum flavor.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Add the olives to the sauce and stir gently before serving.
Add the olives at the end to preserve their texture and flavor.
Serve the pork chops with the sauce over rice or alongside your favorite side dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and added freshness.
