Ingredients

* 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
* 4 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, pounded thin
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat, and quickly brown the pork chops on both sides. Transfer chops to platter, and keep warm.

2. Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until tender. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Mix in the sugar, chili powder, fennel, oregano and basil. Stir in the tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a boil.
