Creole Pork Chops

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; rub over both sides of pork. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until chops are lightly browned; drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook 4-6 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 4 servings.
