Easy Quinoa Casserole And Grilled Pork Chops Recipes

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH QUINOA

Steps:

• In a saucepan or Dutch oven heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for a couple minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 30 more seconds until it becomes aromatic.
• Stir in the quinoa and cook for 2 minutes, just until it gets a bit toasty, but you don't want to burn it. Stir in the white wine. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, add the hot sauce, beef broth and lemon juice. Stir everything together, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer until the quinoa is tender, it should take about 15 minutes. All the liquid should be absorbed once it's cooked.
• While the quinoa is cooking cook the mushrooms and asparagus. In a skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms start to brown. Add the chopped asparagus, season everything with salt and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes until the asparagus softens a bit.
• Season the pork chops on both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill the pork chops uncovered over medium high heat until they brown on each side, should take about 5 minutes per side. Top each pork chop with a bit of butter while they're still hot.
• Serve the pork chops together with the quinoa, mushrooms and asparagus and garnish everything with a bit of parsley.

THE BEST SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH QUINOA

Steps:

• Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the coconut oil in the skillet.
• Season the pork chops on both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Place in the heated skillet and brown on both sides. Remove to a separate plate.
• Add the onion and peppers to the skillet. Saute for 5-10 minutes, until they have softened. Add the garlic and saute for another minute.
• Return the pork chops back to the skillet. Spread the quinoa on the pork chops. Pour the chicken stock over the quinoa and pork. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 30 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Place one pork chop and a large spoonful of quinoa in 4 separate bowls and serve.

EASY GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Begin by making the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes. Easy, right?
• Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a re-sealable plastic bag with the marinade. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour. That's easy.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the pork chops from the bag and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the pork chop releases from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. If using a grill pan, be sure to do in batches so you don't steam the chops. And don't worry if you have neither; you can do this in a pan. See, easy!

SPICE-RUBBED PORK WITH QUINOA

Transfer to a roasting pan and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quinoa and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and fluff with a fork. Toss with the corn, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice the pork and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the quinoa and salsa verde, if desired.
