For a richer flavor, brown the pork chops in butter instead of olive oil.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary can be substituted.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the mix, such as eggplant, yellow squash, or corn.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
The pork chops can also be cooked in a slow cooker. Sear the pork chops as directed, then layer the vegetables and pork chops in the slow cooker. Pour the vegetable stock over the top, add the spices, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

    Easy to follow and the results were fantastic. I used wine instead of vegetable broth and it added a lovely depth of flavor.
