Recipe: Pork and Beans, Italian Style

PORK AND BEANS, ITALIAN STYLE

1 medium onion, chopped
4 boneless pork loin chops
1 (15 oz.) can white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano flavoring*
1/2 box of a 10-oz. pkg. frozen spinach, defrosted and drained of excess water

In a lightly oiled large skillet over medium heat, saute onion until softened.

Push onions off to side and add pork. Brown chops on both sides and remove to a plate.

Add beans and diced tomatoes to skillet and stir to combine with onions. Bring to simmer, add spinach and stir to combine. Lower heat, return chops to skillet, cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until chops are just cooked through.

*Flavor combinations vary from one brand of canned tomatoes to another; choose one that includes garlic and basil.
