One of our first recipes ~ Pork Chops and Pilaf

This was a favorite when we were first married.  Love the rice.  It is similar in flavor to Greek Lemon & Chicken soup.  So yummy!

I cooked tonight and last night, I'll blog about them tomorrow night.  So tired tonight, getting ready for our trip to the State Meet.

Late night last night.  World Series and our fair city has the champion!  Lots of smiling tired kids at school today.  Here's the recipe for next Friday!

Pork Chops and Pilaf

6 lean pork chops

Seasoned salt

1 ¼ c. uncooked rice

1 ¼ c. sliced green onions w/tops (separated)

2 ½ c. chicken broth

1 T. Fresh lemon juice

1 ½ t. lemon peel, minced

2 c. cooked mixed vegetables

Preheat oven to 400°.  Sprinkle chops with salt and brown on each side in a lightly greased skillet.  Remove chops.  Add rice and white part of onions.  Cook until golden brown.  Stir in broth, lemon juice, and peel.  Bring to boil.  Transfer rice mixture to a 13 x9 inch covered casserole dish.  Place chops over rice mixture.  Cover, bake for 25 minutes.  Stir in vegetables and the green onion tops.  Adjust seasonings if necessary.  Replace cover and continue baking 25 minutes longer.  Fluff rice lightly with fork.  Serves 4-6.
