PORK CHOPS AND SPANISH RICE



Pork Chops and Spanish Rice image

This is one of the first recipes I ever served to guests. That was 30 years ago and I still make it today! This is the recipe as it was written, however sometimes I add a combo of red and green peppers, use V-8 juice instead of tomato, and add 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. You can also heat it up by adding a little hot sauce, or a little chopped hot pepper, or by making the mustard a spicy one. It all depends on your family's taste.

My mom has made this forever, but she just uses an eye to see how much spice she had to add, and/or tomato juice. It has always been a favorite of mine so I actually wrote down what I used. Surprise MOM! I did use a few different ingredients, but I liked the added zip and I know my husband loved it, because we had leftover rice...

Categories     Rice Sides

Number Of Ingredients 4

olive oil
4 large pork chops
1 pkg spanish rice(plus ingredients it calls for)
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • 1. How to Make it: In a skillet heat Olive oil till hot then brown your pork chops till cooked through, then add your spanish rice packet and ingredients to cook as directed on package, simmer till done, then put in 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and stir to mix, then simmer till hot and bubbly. Serve with your favorite side dish

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your Spanish rice and pork chops will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful pork chops and use a good quality long-grain rice. For best results, try to use Spanish rice, which has a slightly different flavor and texture than other types of rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the pork chops, make sure to give them plenty of space in the pan so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the pork chops will steam instead of brown, and they will not be as flavorful.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. Medium heat will help the pork chops to cook evenly without burning. If you cook the pork chops over high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops. Pork chops are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked pork chops will be dry and tough.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. Marinating the pork chops before cooking will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. There are many different marinades that you can use, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Serve the Spanish rice and pork chops with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for Spanish rice and pork chops include black beans, corn, and avocado. You can also serve the pork chops with a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice and pork chops is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can have this dish on the table in under an hour. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Spanish rice and pork chops a try!
