Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C.

Remove the tin from the oven, add the garlic and tinned tomatoes and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the remaining vegetable oil with the paprika. Rub the paprika and oil paste into both sides of the pork chops and season with black pepper.
