Ingredients

4 pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 eggplant, cubed
1 onion, sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is cooking, prepare the ratatouille. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, and cubed eggplant to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Serve the herb and garlic pork chops alongside the summer ratatouille. Garnish with fresh basil.
