Ingredients

  • COMBINE:
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 1/3 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper
  • POUND:
  • 4 boneless pork loin rib-eye chops (5 oz. each)
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • SAUTÉ:
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1/4 cup jarred kalamata olive juice
  • 1 can tomato sauce (15 oz.)
  • Sliced scallions

Preparation

Step 1

Combine bread crumbs, 1 Tbsp. garlic, Parmesan, olives, scallions, ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper for the filling.

Pound chops with the flat side of a meat mallet to tenderize. Cover each chop with ½ cup filling mixture; tightly roll chops, starting with one short side, and secure with toothpicks.

Sear chops in oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until browned on all sides, 8–10 minutes total. Transfer chops to a plate.

Sauté onions and 1 Tbsp. garlic in same pan over medium-high heat until soft, 3 minutes. Deglaze pan with olive juice, scraping up any brown bits. Add tomato sauce; season with salt and pepper. Return chops to pan; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes. Remove toothpicks. Serve braciola with sauce. Garnish servings with sliced scallions.
