‘Happy’ Pork Chops
Recipes for National Pork Month

Ingredients:
Makes six servings Prep time: 40 minutes 6 pork blade steaks, (1/2- to 3/4-inch thick), seasoned with salt and pepper 2 tablespoons corn oil or olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 small white onion, chopped 2 cups uncooked rice 4 plum tomatoes, chopped 2 medium jalapeno chiles, minced 1 cup beer or water 2 cups chicken broth or water Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:
Heat oil in large skillet; add pork. Sear pork on both sides on medium-high heat just until brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove from skillet and cover loosely with foil. Add garlic and onions to skillet. Cook and stir until tender, about 2 minutes, scraping brown bits from bottom of skillet. Add rice, stirring constantly until rice just begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes, jalapeńo chiles, beer and broth or water. Bring to boil; cover. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes. Place pork on top of rice; cover. Simmer 8-9 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired. Cook’s tips: Chicken broth or water may be substituted for the beer in this recipe; if using water only, additional salt and pepper may be needed. May be served with corn tortillas.
