Last week we ate pork chops with savory rice and cheesy peas for dinner. I was in the mood for quick, savory and fast. This whole meal took about 30 minuets to make.
A side note for photographer in you: the star of this image was the porkchops and not cheesy peas. I will need to turn my plate next time. I am not a food stylist yet!
For the pork:
In a glass baking pan I generously covered the bottom with olive oil. Note I didn't grease it.
I just poured about three tablespoons in the glass container. Next, I neatly placed four pork chops on the bottom of the pan.
Generously sprinkle pepper and salt on the top. Then turn them over and
sprinkle salt and pepper once again.
Slice half an onion (keep them as long strips)a nd spread over the top of the
chops.
Mince up a small garlic clove and spread over each chop.
Next, drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the chops.
Add half cup of baby carrots. You can randomly place them anywhere on the bottom of your pan.
Lastly, sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
Sprinkle cold pea size bits of butter (Optional).
Savory Basmati Rice:
I used basmati rice. Follow the instructions on the bag.
After you have cooked your desired amount, toss warm rice with butter, olive oil, dill, basil, and a pinch of garlic powder. You can add other spices if you desire.
Cheesy Peas:
In a heat proof bowl add:
1 can of drained and rinsed peas.
1 teaspoon of milk
1 tablespoon of butter
4 slices of american cheese
Microwave in the oven for about 30 seconds or until cheese is slightly melted.
Carefully remove from microwave and fold the ingredients in the bowl (must be done while ingredients are hot).
Adym actually made the cheesy peas and his additional ingredient is love. Aw!
