Smothered Pork Chops
Nb persons: 4
Yield:
Preparation time: 15
Total time: 75
Source: WW 9 points
| Ingredients | |
| 2 clove(s) | garlic clove, (s), smashed |
| 1 pound(s) | lean boneless pork chop, four 4 oz chops, washed, patted dry |
| 1 tsp | table salt, divided |
| 1 tsp | black pepper, freshly ground, divided |
| 4 spray(s) cooking spray, divided | |
| 1 Tbsp | olive oil, divided |
| 1 large | onion, (s), Spanish-variety, cut in half and thinly sliced |
| 3 medium | sweet red pepper, (s), or a variety of bell peppers, thinly sliced |
| 1/2 cup(s) | uncooked white rice, long-grain, rinsed and drained |
| 28 oz | canned crushed tomatoes |
| Instructions Rub garlic all over pork; reserve garlic. Next, rub 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper all over pork. Coat a large heavy pan with cooking spray; set over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, sear pork chops until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side; remove pork and set aside. Off heat, coat pan again with cooking spray; add 1/2 tablespoon oil. Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and cook until garlic starts to turn golden and caramelize, about 1 to 2 minutes (do not allow garlic to burn). Add onions and sauté until onions turn translucent and become golden, scraping bottom of pan occasionally to incorporate drippings, about 10 minutes; remove onions and set aside. Off heat, coat pan again with cooking spray; add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and set over medium heat. When hot, add peppers and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes; remove and set aside. Add pork back to pan; top each pork chop with 2 tablespoons uncooked rice. Spoon tomatoes over pork; season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Tightly cover pan, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes. Spoon peppers and onions over top and cover again; cook until rice is tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Yields 1 pork chop and about 1 cup rice with vegetables per serving. Notes Change the flavor profile of this recipe by using canned tomatoes with jalapenos or canned fired-roasted tomatoes with Italian herbs. Or add sliced olives during the last 5 minutes of cooking (could affect PointsPlus value).
