Preparation method
Preparation & Searing the Chops
Preheat the oven to 190 °C top/bottom heat (170 °C fan). Pat the pork chops dry, season both sides with 1 tsp fine table salt, 1 pinch ground black pepper, and 1 tsp sweet paprika powder. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash and deseed the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut into approx. 1.5 cm cubes.
Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over high heat in a large ovenproof pan or roasting dish. Sear the seasoned pork chops on both sides for approx. 2–3 minutes until they develop a nice browned crust. Then remove them and set aside on a plate.
Preparing the Đuveč Vegetable Rice
In the remaining fat in the pan, sauté the diced onion and garlic over medium heat for approx. 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers and roast for another 2 minutes.
Chef's tip
Meat choice: Bone-in chops stay especially juicy when cooked in the oven and give the vegetable rice a wonderfully deep meat flavor.
Seasoning tip: If you appreciate a spicy kick, you can choose the hot variety instead of mild ajvar, or sauté half a chopped chili pepper along with the vegetables.
