Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups frozen cooked white rice
4 thin bone-in pork chops (1/2 inch thick; about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 1/2 teaspoons Sazón seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 15.5-ounce can pigeon peas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup halved green olives with pimientos
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250˚. Heat the rice as the label directs. Season the pork with the Sazón, salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 more minute. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and turmeric. Cook, stirring, until the onion is coated, about 1 minute. Add the pigeon peas and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the rice and olives and heat through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the pork chops with the rice mixture; drizzle with any juices from the baking sheet. Top with cilantro.

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.
