Pork Chops and Rice

4 pork chops, 1 inch thick
1 toe garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 French shallots, chopped
½ bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cups beef stock
2 Tbsp. Parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup rice, uncooked

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Brown pork chops in dutch oven (with an oven-proof lid) and remove. Saute garlic, onion, French shallots, bell pepper in fat remaining in Dutch oven. Add stock and parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. Add rice and stir to distribute evenly. 

Place pork chops on top. Cover and bake in 300 oven for 1 ½ hours or until rice is cooked. Check at one hour; add more stock if needed. Serves 4.
Remember: One cup of uncooked long grain rice will yield about 3 cups cooked rice.
