Ingredients

  • It’s quick to make – you get all the benefits of a stew without having to cook for a long time.
  • It’s hearty, filling, and warming – all of the things you want from a winter meal.
  • You can make this pork chops with tomato and rice stew with pantry staples – no need to go out to the store in the snow!
  • Before you add the rice, remove the stew from the stovetop.
  • Add one more cup of chicken broth.
  • Blend with an immersion blender until the mixture reaches your desired consistency, adding more broth if needed.
  • Continue with the recipe as indicated.
  • Season your pork chops with a Cajun or Creole rub before cooking. We like this Tony Chachere’s seasoning you can purchase on Amazon .
  • Add up to a tablespoon of Cajun or Creole rub to the stew along with the tomatoes.
  • Pour in a dash of your favorite hot sauce like Tabasco to the stew after you’ve added the rice.
  • Cut half a cup of cherry tomatoes in half and add to the stew alongside the diced tomatoes. Let them stew down to bring more texture and tomato flavor to the recipe.
  • Start with whole tomatoes and let them cook down for more bites of tomato. You’ll need to break them up with a wooden spoon as they cook, and it will take more time, but you’ll get more tomatoes!
  • Grab a shallow bowl and put a small layer of stew in the bottom. You don’t want a ton of stew, just enough to get a scoop with each bite of pork.
  • Slice a pork chop into thin strips and place the sliced pork chop on top of the stew. It can then be cut into bite sized pieces to enjoy with a bit of stew.
  • I put some lettuce microgreens on top of the pork chops for freshness, color, and crunch. They were a nice addition, but if you don’t have them, it’s no big deal!
  • Finally, I had some slices of baguette on the side to sop up the rest of the stew – so yummy!
  • 8 Boneless Pork Chops (cut at about 1/2″ thick)
  • Buttery Garlic Rump Rub (from LGCM or your favorite pork chop seasoning)
  • 3 cup Cooked Rice (white or brown – your choice)
  • 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Yellow Onion (diced)
  • 2 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes (28 oz)
  • 3 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • Microgreens (optional, for serving)
  • Baguette (sliced, for serving)
