SPANISH CRISPY PORK CHOPS WITH RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚. Heat the rice as the label directs. Season the pork with the Sazón, salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 more minute. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and turmeric. Cook, stirring, until the onion is coated, about 1 minute. Add the pigeon peas and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the rice and olives and heat through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the pork chops with the rice mixture; drizzle with any juices from the baking sheet. Top with cilantro.

PORK CHOPS WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the parsley, scallions, jalapeno, cornbread, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop. Stuff the cornbread mixture into the pockets.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet in batches and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; reserve the skillet. Bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil; add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain; return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper; toss.
• Remove the pork from the baking sheet and pour the juices on the baking sheet into the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the juices; cook over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, scraping up any browned bits, until smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and drizzle over the pork chops. Serve with the green beans.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops, browning on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Place the pork chops on a plate, then drain all but 1 tablespoon of drippings from the skillet. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the tomatoes, then season with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Transfer the pork chops back to the skillet; cover and simmer until the pork chops are tender and no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. Stir in some water if the mixture becomes too dry. Place the bell pepper on top of the pork, then add the reserved mushrooms. Continue to simmer until the bell pepper is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
