Cranberry Pork Chops
This had a wonderful sweet and savory flavor that the whole family loved. I served the pork chops on a bed of Rice Pilaf. I'll include the recipe below.
Ingredients:
*4-6 pork chops (I used bone in)
*Salt and Pepper each chop
*season with seasoning salt
*sprinkle with dried Parsley
Brown chops in pressure cooker
Add:
* 1 1/4 cup Apple-Cranberry juice
*3/4 cup dried Cranberries (Craisens)
* Approximately 2-3 Tbsp. honey drizzled on top of everything.
Close lid and set to High pressure for 11-12 minutes (if cooking BONE-IN pork chops) If cooking with boneless I would cook for more like 8-9 minutes. I allowed it to depressurize for around 5-10 minutes then I released the remaining pressure. I'm sure it will work either way.
After it is done cooking, remove the chops. Thicken the remaining juices with corn starch or Ultra Jell until it looks like gravy. Serve chops on a bed of Rice Pilaf and cover with cranberry gravy. YUM YUM!
Simple Rice Pilaf:
*1/4-1/2 onion chopped
*2 Tbsp butter
Cook onions in butter on low heat 6-8 minutes until onions are translucent and starting to brown.
Add:
*1 cup uncooked white rice
Stir the dry rice in onion and butter mixture over low heat until completely coated: around 2-3 minutes
Add:
*2 cups liquid (water or chicken broth) add salt if using water
Bring to a boil. Stir rice once, then cover and cook on low for 15 minutes. Serve and Enjoy!
