Cook with me!
Tonight we had porkchops with Spanish rice 😋
》 I start with washed rice and add it into the pan. I let it cook until its golden brown. Make sure to stir it frequently so it doesn't burn.
》Then I add a can of tomato sauce and the seasonings which are: black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Knorr chicken tomato bouillon.
》Make sure to stir it all together. Lastly I add enough water to submerge the rice. Cover and let it cook.
Here's what I did for the porkchops:
》 I use a fork to put holes on them so it'll be easier to cook.
》 In a pan add some vegetable oil and butter to warm up.
》 While that's warming up I start to season the porkchops. I use: black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, lemon pepper, and a little bit of Montreal seasoning.
》 Once the pan is warm add the porkchops seasoned side down and add more seasoning.
》 Let it cook about 5-7 mins each side. Then you're done!
I added some Mexican fresh cheese on the side! Enjoy ☺️

This recipe combines the savory taste of seasoned pork chops with a traditional Spanish rice side dish, creating a delightful and balanced meal. The key to perfect Spanish rice is to first wash the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, then toast it in a pan until golden brown while stirring frequently to avoid burning. Adding a can of tomato sauce and Knorr chicken tomato bouillon enriches the rice with deep, savory flavors, complemented by black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. For the pork chops, puncturing the meat with a fork helps the seasoning penetrate and cook evenly. The combination of vegetable oil and butter as a cooking medium ensures a flavorful sear with a rich texture. Seasoning the chops generously with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, lemon pepper, and Montreal seasoning adds complex layers of flavor. Cooking the chops for 5-7 minutes per side over medium heat results in juicy, tender meat with a nicely browned crust. Serving the meal with Mexican fresh cheese offers a creamy contrast that balances the spices and complements the overall dish. This recipe is perfect for home cooks seeking an easy yet impressive dinner option. Using pantry staples like tomato sauce and dried seasonings keeps the recipe accessible and budget-friendly. Additional tips for success include ensuring the rice is fully submerged in water during cooking to achieve the right texture, and allowing the pork chops to rest briefly after cooking for juicier results. This meal pairs well with a simple fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete dinner. Incorporating Knorr chicken tomato bouillon not only boosts flavor but also delivers an authentic taste reminiscent of classic Spanish cuisine. This approach to cooking rice and pork chops can be adapted by adjusting spices to personal preferences or dietary needs, making it a versatile dinner idea for many occasions.
