I'm not a big pork chop fan, but this recipe sounds good!

I'm not either but hubby & the kids are so I can't get out of fixing them for very long. This is one way I really like them though.

Yum! Sounds like a variation on the 'Country Captain' dish which is made with chicken, but all the other ingredients.

Im going to make this for dinner tonight and have a few questions!!!!!

Question - What kind of rice do i use? Uncooked white rice or long grain?

Question - "Brown chops in oil" Do i set heat to like medium? And i brown the chops then transfer them to the other skillet correct? Or do i just use one skillet?

Question - Can i buy stewed tomatoes or do i have to stew them myself, if i have to stew them, can i sub for another can tomatoes? Thanks!!!

I use uncooked long grain rice.

Yep, medium heat, brown the pork chops & then pour the other ingredients over the pork chops in the same skillet.I like the fact that I only have to dirty up one pan for this meal.

I buy canned stewed tomatoes.

I hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it turns out for you.

It just so happens i have a full container of uncooked long grain rice!!! I tried to make it once but i just added salt pepper and seasoning, and it had NO FLAVOR whatsoever. I'm sure with this way it will be good flavor. Thanks so much!!!!! Any other tips to it i should folllow? Im a relative cooking novice!

With the rice cooking in the tomatoes & other sruff it soaks up all those flavors. I can't think of anything else you might need to know, it's a pretty simple recipe. Oh, I only use about a tablespoon or so of oil to brown my pork chops. I normally brown them 2 at a time & add more oil to the skillet for the 2nd batch if I need to.

afterthought - how tightly does it have to be sealed while i cook? I have one large skillet which i rig up with a pizza pan type thing, ive only used this to cover and simmer hamburger helper in the past.. ( dont laugh..like i said im a noob, dont worry i dont cook that crap anymore )

crewsk · Apr 7, 2005

That's OK, I still cook Hamburger Helper once in a while.

The lid to my skillet dosen't fit tightly & it has vent holes so I wrap it foil to keep in as much moisture as possible. I think your pizza pan rig will work just fine.

My girl brought home thick cut pork chops, does that make any difference on timing or anything?

crewsk · Apr 7, 2005

It shouldn't make a diffrence. Just check the chops after 45 minutes & if they aren't done, let it cook for a little while longer.

Mylegsbig · Apr 7, 2005

I made this recipe tonight. I overcooked the pork chops ( My bad) But they were still tasty from the seasoning. But the rice - Did not cook whatsoever. The rice was as stiff and inedible as it iwas to begin with... WTF? Was it my ***** rig? Like i said i covered the skillet with a pizza pan.

Thanks for your responses in advance!!! -_-;;

I have no cule!! :ermm:

I'm sorry the rice didn't cook for you, I've never had that problem before. I'll have to let my brain wake up before I can figure anything out. I'm still half asleep this morning.

PS: While we're at it, what is ISO?
