4 Lean center-cut pork chops (1 1/4 lbs.)
1 c V-8 Juice
1 ts Dried basil
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Coarsely ground black pepper

Trim and discard excess fat from chops. In a large frying pan, brown chops without added fat. When chops are browned, add other ingredients. Cover tightly and simmer 40 minutes or until tender. Turn meat occasionally and add a few tablespoons of water if necessary to prevent burning.
