1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a greased 5-quart casserole toss together all ingredients except pork chops. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Brush chops lightly with a little olive oil. Brown on both sides in a large nonstick skillet.

3. Remove casserole from oven, arrange chops on top of vegetable mixture; bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until chops are just done. Serve chops with ratatouille.
