Top and tail the onions, cut them in half and peel them, then cut them into 5-7mm (¼") thick slices from top to bottom.
Peel the garlic cloves and dice them as finely as you can.
Remove the stalks and the seeds from the peppers and then slice them into strips 5-7mm (¼") thick.
Rub the pork chops with ½ tablespoon of oil and then season them with the salt.
Heat a 30cm or 12" frying pan (nonstick is fine) over a high heat, and when the pan is hot, sear the chops on both sides until nicely coloured, make sure you do the fatty end too. This will take around 60-90 seconds per side. Then remove them and set aside.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat and add the remaining oil and the onions, cook for 7-10 minutes (stirring regularly) or until they have softened and become golden.
Add the chopped garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the flour and then cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly to cook out the flour.
Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine and reduce by half, then transfer to a small 3½-4 litre (4-quart) slow cooker.
Add the tinned tomatoes, chopped peppers and rosemary and stir to combine, have a taste and add salt if needed.
Nestle the pork chops into the mix, ensuring that they are covered by some of the mix and any resting juices, then add a lid and cook on low for 90 minutes.
