Pork Chops with Spanish Rice Time: 40 minutes
2 - 4 pork chops, depending on size
1 onion
1/2 green pepper left from Monday
1 stalk celery
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup brown rice
1 can whole tomatoes, 15 oz (450gr)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs olive oil
water or chicken stock, 1/4 - 1/2 cup
Chop onion, celery and green pepper. Mince garlic. Heat oil in deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add pork chops and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes each. Remove. Add chili powder, onion, pepper, celery and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes. Open tomatoes and drain into a bowl. Chop the tomatoes and drain again. Add drained tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and rice to pan. Measure the drained liquid and add enough water or chicken stock to equal 1 cup (or however much liquid your rice package calls for). Pour this over the rice/vegetables in the skillet and stir well to combine. Lay the pork chops on top of the rice and cover. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until rice is done. Mine took 20 minutes - check rice package. Stir occasionally while cooking. When done, serve - either from the pan or arrange nicely on a platter.
