CATHY'S PORK CHOPS & SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• I cut the fat and bones off my pork chops and use to render down to fry the boneless chops. If yours are already boneless, just use a Tbsp of oil to brown the chops. **I dump all of the grease and bones, and just use the residue in the pan.
• In a gallon size plastic bag, add salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and olive oil. Add pork and massage to coat.
• Brown chops in pork renderings or olive oil in a 10-inch oven-proof pan with lid. Remove chops.
• Add onion and celery to pan, and brown in drippings for approximately 5 minutes. Add can of drained corn and 1 tsp of sugar. Stir frequently and brown to desired caramelization.
• Add can of diced stewed tomatoes and 2 cups water. Stir in paprika and crumble oregano leaves over pot. Bring to a boil.
• Sprinkle in 1 cup rice and stir thoroughly.
• Cover with lid and place in preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes. I start checking around 25 minutes into cook time.
• Alternately, this can be cooked on stovetop; although I have not checked the time.
