2 lb. boneless pork loin

Slices of roasted marinated red peppers – plus a little marinade

4 cloves of garlic – chopped

1 onion – sliced

1 stalk of celery – sliced

¼ cup wine

¼ cup chicken broth

29 oz. can crushed tomatoes

Preparation

Rub the pork with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried oregano.

Heat a sauce pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Place the prepared pork loin in the heated pan and let it get golden on all sides.

Add the vegetables and basil and continue to simmer until the onion is golden.

Add the crushed tomatoes, wine and chicken broth and seasonings; continue to simmer slowly until pork is cooked and tender, about 2 ½ hours. The longer it cooks slowly the better.
