Grilled Pork Chops with Red Vinegar Peppers

I have been making this dish for years and forgot how I love it! You can grill the pork chops instead of pan searing, but both ways work. In addition to the vinegar peppers you can had a few hot peppers or some caramelized onions to increase the flavor.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick
• salt & fresh ground pepper to taste (you can use smoked salt)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-3 slices of red vinegar pepper for each pork chop 
• 3 hot peppers (optional)
• 1 onion sliced thin and caramelized in pan (optional)

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat chops dry, season with salt and pepper. Cook chops, turning once for about 5 minutes on each side, or until brown and you get anise sear. Throw in the garlic around chops and cook another 5 minutes.
Add the peppers and already cooked onions (optional)  to the skillet. Cook, stirring until the peppers are heated through. Spoon the peppers over chops and serve with rice or simple salad like arugula.
