PORK CHOPS AND RICE WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season liberally with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown pork chops on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove pork chops from the skillet; drain fat off the pan, but leave browned bits in the bottom (you don't need to wipe it clean).
• Add water, celery, onion soup mix, and garlic powder; stir to combine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan to add flavor to the sauce. Return pork chops to the skillet; cover, and cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes (or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F). Remove chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
• In a separate bowl, toss mushrooms with flour.
• Add mushrooms and flour, parsley, and milk to the skillet. Whisk and cook over low heat, just until sauce thickens (about 2 minutes). Return pork chops to the skillet and heat just until warmed through. Spoon sauce over chops and serve with cooked rice. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

COUNTRY PORK CHOP AND RICE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the soup, broth, rice, garlic powder, dried chives, and onion powder. Transfer to the prepared dish.
• Pat the pork chops dry; place on top of the rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops, to taste. If you don't like a strong onion flavor or if you don't want the chops too salty, use just a portion of the seasoning (not the whole packet).
• Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops at this point. If they are done (and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F), remove them from the dish, cover with foil, and set aside to rest. Give the rice a stir. The rice will not be tender yet, so cover the dish again and return to the oven for about 25-30 more minutes, or just until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops. Garnish with herbs, if desired.

DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, ground beef and chicken livers and cook, breaking the meat into small bits with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the Dutch oven. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook down, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook about 30 seconds. Stir the cooked meat back in, then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover. Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 18 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. Remove and discard the bay leaves, stir in the scallions and season.

MOM'S TENDER AND JUICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Place all brine ingredients in a plastic bowl that has a tight-fitting lid. Stir. Add pork chops. Cover and keep in the fridge for at least 4 hours. (I know this is an extra step but it really makes the pork chops super tender.)
• 2. Remove pork chops from brine and pat dry with a paper towel.
• 3. Dip pork chops in egg wash.
• 4. Then Italian bread crumbs to coat.
• 5. Heat oil in a large skillet. Just enough to coat the bottom. Fry pork chops in the skillet for approximately 3 minutes per side. They should be a nice golden brown.
• 6. Then set them aside.
• 7. Remove oil from skillet leaving approximately one tablespoon. Add the onions to the skillet and saute on medium heat until translucent - about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute - stirring.
• 8. Add the chicken broth and white wine.
• 9. Add seasonings to the skillet. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.
• 10. Put the pork chops back into the skillet with the chicken broth mixture. I place them around the sides of the skillet overlapping slightly to form a circle.
• 11. Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 20 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.

PORK-FRIED DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• In a large nonstick saute pan or wok, heat the oil over high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the ground pork, salt and ginger. Break the pork up with a spoon and stir while browning. When the pork is cooked through and golden, add the garlic, scallions, bean sprouts and peas. Stir and cook for a minute or so more, then push it to the side and add a bit more oil, if needed. Add the rice and quickly stir to heat and toast the rice. Once a crust has formed on some of the rice, add the soy sauce and chili sauce. Season with more salt, if needed. Incorporate the rice with the rest of the ingredients in the pan. Once combined, push to the sides and add the eggs to the center, allowing the eggs to curdle lightly. Rapidly stir the rice in to coat while the eggs are cooking. The eggs act as glue instead of being left as big curds separated from the rice. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
• Rinse the rice 3 times to remove the starch. Put the rice in a medium saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover the rice by 1/2-inch. Or measure by putting your thumb tip on the rice and filling the pot with water until the water reaches the middle of your thumbnail. Bring the rice to a simmer over low heat, then cover and cook until tender and liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let the rice stand another 5 minutes, covered.
