Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large 1/2 " thick pork chops
1 1/2 c instant rice (e.g., minute rice, brown or white)
1 can(s) 20 oz crushed tomatoes
1 jar(s) pasta sauce (use your choice of red sauce)
1-1.5 c beef stock (you can buy stock or make your own with bouillon)
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
black pepper
salt (i like to use garlic salt for the added taste)
1 pinch oregano, dried or fresh
italian seasoning or individual seasonings, as you wish
1 1/2 c parmesan/romano cheese, grated
1/4 c virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Add the olive oil to a large fry pan over medium heat; add chopped garlic and stir; then add pork chops and brown on each side (about 2 min)
  • 2. While chops are browning, spray a large metal or glass cake pan with olive oil; spread the rice into the bottom of the pan
  • 3. Place browned chops over the rice in a single layer.
  • 4. In a large bowl, pour the chopped tomatoes, pasta sauce and seasonings -- season to your own taste. I like a lot of garlic and less oregano -- use your own taste! Stir and add the beef stock. Stir, then pour carefully over the pork chops, making sure all are covered. There will be a lot of tomato sauce, but much will be absorbed into the rice.
  • 5. With a spatula or spoon, carefully lift the corner of each chop so the sauce gets underneath and into the rice.
  • 6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (or more if you like) of parmesan/romano cheese over the top of the chop mixture. If you prefer, you can also use fresh shredded parmesan or romano cheeses.
  • 7. Cover and place into the 325 degree oven for 50 minutes; remove cover and return to the over for 10-15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is done.
  • 8. Remove from oven, and sprinkle freshly shredded, or dry Italian cheeses and some fresh chopped parsley over the entire dish. Serve each portion by lifting with a large spatula, so rice and chop is removed together.
  • 9. Add a green salad, some steamed carrots, and some crusty bread for a quick and easy supper -- or an impressive buffet dish!!
