Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 ounces pork and 1 cup rice mixture per serving

Ingredients

1/2 6- to 7-ounce box quick-cooking white and wild rice or oriental fried rice, with 1/2 seasoning packet discarded
2 cups frozen broccoli florets (8 ounces), thawed
1/2 cup all-fruit seedless blackberry spread
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Cooking spray
4 boneless center-cut pork chops (about 4 ounces each and about 1/2 inch thick), all visible fat discarded
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt, margarine, and half the seasoning packet and cooking for 8 minutes. Stir in the broccoli. Cook, covered, for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Set aside, still covered.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the blackberry spread and vinegar. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook the pork over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Turn over. Sprinkle with the rosemary. Cook for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned (the pork won’t be quite done). Remove from the skillet.

    Step 4

    Add the blackberry spread mixture to the skillet. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.

    Step 5

    Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute. Turn the pork over. Cook for 45 seconds, or until slightly pink in the center. Serve the pork and glaze over the rice mixture.
