"Easy Meal" Pork Chops
Olive oil (2 to 3 tablespoons)
6 pork chops (1-inch thick), trimmed of excess fat
1-1/2 cups rice
1 onion, chopped
1 sweet yellow pepper, chopped
1 can tomatoes (1-pound)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Preheat oven to 350° F. Heat the oil in a flame-proof casserole or ovenproof skillet and saute the chops quickly. Remove to a plate as they brown. If necessary, add more oil to the pan and saute the rice, onion and pepper until the rice is golden.
Place the chops on top of the rice, pour the can of tomatoes over the chops and sprinkle with the oregano and vinegar. Cover tightly and bake 1-1/4 hours. Check occasionally to be sure there is enough liquid. Add a few tablespoons of water if it seems too dry.
