Fried Pork Chops With Rice And Pink Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and cook until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer.
• Set aside about half of the tomato sauce mixture in a bowl. Add 3/4 cup more water and the rice to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the beans and their liquid, stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, pierce the pork chops with a fork and rub with the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a foil-lined broiler pan. Pour the reserved tomato mixture over the pork chops and turn to coat. Broil, without turning, until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Fluff the rice and beans with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the pork chops and rice and beans among plates and drizzle with the broiler-pan juices.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop onto a plate.
• Add the pork to the skillet, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry, breaking up any clumps, until brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then add the green beans, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, pork and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring to break up the egg and mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the scallions and lime juice and serve.

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed skillet heat the canola oil over medium-high heat.
• In a shallow baking dish or pie plate combine the flour with cornmeal, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper, to taste. Put the pork chops into the flour mixture coating completely and shaking off excess. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from oil and drain on a sheet pan lined with a brown paper bag. Reserve 2 chops for Round 2 Pork Parmesan recipe.
• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add diced ham and saute until lightly browned. Add the onions, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, to taste and saute until translucent. Add the butter beans and saute for 5 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the sauteed beans and onions for Round 2 Bean Dip recipe. Arrange the chops on serving plates and serve with the beans alongside.

Steps:

• Drain beans, reserving liquid. Pour reserved liquid into 1-qt. measuring cup. Add enough water to reserved liquid to measure 3 cups.
• Heat 1 tsp. oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add 4 chops; cook 4 min. on each side or until done (145°F). Remove chops from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and chops.
• Add dressing, peppers, onions and garlic to same skillet; cook and stir 5 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add rice; cook and stir 3 min. Add measured liquid; stir. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 15 min.
• Stir beans, raisins and cumin into rice mixture; top with chops. Cover; simmer 5 min. or until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chops are heated through. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with bacon.
