Best Pork Chops And Dirty Rice Recipes

MOM'S DIRTY RICE W/ PORK CHOP VARIATION

Steps:

• Oven 350.
• Combine all ingredients and pour into a 2 quart casserole and bake covered for 1 hour.
• VARIAION: Brown (about 2 minutes per side in vegetable or olive oil) 4 Pork Chops (I prefer bone-in) and add to rice mixture, but the ingredients will fit better using a 9x13 pan. Cover and bake 1 hour.

PORK CHOPS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the rice and saute until it is light brown, about 5 minutes.
• Spread the rice in a 9- by 13- by 2-inch casserole. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and arrange them on top of the rice. Pour the broth and 2/3 cup water over the chops. Spread the onion rings over the chops and sprinkle them with the pepper. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the pork chops are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Change the oven to broil, add a bit more broth if the rice is dry and return the dish to the oven for a couple of minutes until the pork is browned.

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.

BAKED PORK CHOPS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer onion to a plate.
• Sprinkle seasoned salt over all sides of each pork chop. Place pork chops in the same large skillet and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Mix beef consomme and water together in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour rice into the broth mixture; add caramelized onion. Gently arrange pork chops over rice in a single layer. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is cooked through, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
