VEGAN DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Cook vegan burger following recipe instructions or if using storebought burger, cook according to package directions and cut into small pieces using a fork and knife, set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, add onion, garlic, celery, bell peppers and cook until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes. Add Creole seasoning, vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
• Stir in the vegan burger, rice, salt to taste and spring onion. Cook until heated through, about one minute.

PORK CHOPS AND DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; brown the pork chops on both sides. Remove the pork chops from the skillet, reserving the drippings in the skillet; add the onion soup mix and the water to the drippings; cook and stir until hot.
• Spread the rice evenly into the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Lay the pork chops atop the rice. Pour the mixture from the skillet over the pork chops and rice; cover.
• Place covered dish in preheated oven and bake 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, another 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
