PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"RE: OTCC: Mustard Glazed Pork (or chicken) with Apple Wild Rice" Posted by frodis on 12-02-11 at 04:33 PM

Checking in! Catching up! This was yummy!I used boneless, butterflied pork chops. I pounded them out so they would be thin and cook evenly. I didn't have Uncle Ben's, but I did recently go on a rice shopping spree and decided to use red rice for this. I cooked it in a mix of half chicken stock and half unfiltered apple cider. I didn't stray too far from the recipe (well, not too far for me, that is.) After removing the chops, I deglazed the pan with white wine first. I did omit the raisins and added a diced red onion instead. I substituted applesauce for the apple jelly. (I had just made a megaton of applesauce so it seemed to make sense.) I also added the apple and onion to the sauce instead of to the rice. When the sauce was done, I dunked the chops back into the pan to get them all coated with the sauce (yum.) I sprinkled toasted pecans over the top instead of mixing-in. The sauce was fantastic - very thick and savory. I had intentionally left the rice plain because I wasn't sure how the family would like the apple/nut chunks in there, but I shouldn't have worried. We all ended up mixing sauce into the rice. Maybe next time I'd add half of the apple/onion mix to the sauce and half to the rice. Mr. Fro was a very big fan of the sauce with the pork chops (I was, too.) Here's the finished dish, served with a side of sauteed mixed mystery greens and bacon. (there's spinach in there, and tatsoi, and a bag of something that I couldn't remember what it was.) Thumbs up! I'll definitely make this again.
