PORK CHOPS WITH SPANISH RICE
This is an easy, skillet dinner.... everything cooked together. I use brown Basmati rice in this dish. Mine cooks in 20 minutes and I like the healthy aspect and nutty flavor of brown rice. You could substitute plain white rice or your favorite. Adjust cooking time if needed..

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your Spanish rice and pork chops taste their best. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender pork chops, and long-grain rice.
- Season your food well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs in your Spanish rice and pork chops. Garlic, cumin, oregano, and paprika are all classic Spanish flavors.
- Cook the rice properly: Rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch. Then, cook the rice in a ratio of 2 cups water to 1 cup rice. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
- Sear the pork chops before baking: Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet will help to develop flavor and prevent them from drying out in the oven.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce for your pork chops can make all the difference. Try using a tomato-based sauce, a creamy mushroom sauce, or a tangy BBQ sauce.
