Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops
  • 1 cup olives pitted and sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 large white onion sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup stock chicken or vegetable

Instructions

  • Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step helps to seal in the flavors.
  • Transfer the seared pork chops to the crockpot.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onion becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
  • Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the crockpot, spreading them evenly over the pork chops.
  • Pour the stock over the pork chops, ensuring they are partially submerged. Add more stock if needed.
  • Scatter the sliced olives on top.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The pork chops should become tender and juicy.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the pork chops from the crockpot and transfer them to a serving platter.
  • If desired, you can thicken the sauce remaining in the crockpot. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, then stir it into the sauce. Cook on high heat for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve hot.
