Garlicky Pork chops with tomatoes: (from La Cuisine): Heat 2 tbsp butter. Brown 4 pork chops. Add 2 quartered onions and brown. In a separate bowl, whisk 3/4 cup water with 3 tbsp tomato paste. Add 2 garlic cloves, minced, 1/2 tsp dried thyme and 1/4 tsp dried parsley, one bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste. Add tomato mixture, simmer on low, covered, 20 minutes. Remove pork chops. Simmer sauce until it thickens slightly. (If you use thin pork chops, I would leave them out after browning and put back in when almost finished. Mine were a little tough.)
The pork industry defends horrendous cruelty to animals -- factory farmers keep breeding pigs locked in two-foot-wide crates where the pigs can’t even turn around for nearly their entire lives. Eight states have passed laws against this type of animal abuse, yet groups like the National Pork Producers Council still support it.

We buy our pork from local farmers.
