Pork Chops with Scallion Rice Slow Cooker Recipe

Pork Chops With Scallion Rice Slow Cooker Recipe

Ingredients

Serves 4

Active Time 5 minutes

Saute; Pressure/Manual (High) Natural Release

• 4 bone-in pork chops (¼ inch thick or thinner)
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 1½ teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salted butter, vegetable oil, or Ghee
• 1 bunch scallions, sliced
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 1¼ cups water

Method

1. Season the pork chops with ½ teaspoon each of the salt and pepper
2. Select SAUTE on the Instant Pot
3. When the pot is hot, add the butter
4. When the butter has melted, add the chops to the pot and cook until browned on each side, about 5 minutes total; when you turn the chops to brown the second side, add the scallions
5. Transfer the chops to a plate
6. Add the rice to the pot
7. Stir to coat the rice with the butter and rendered pork fat
8. Add the water, stirring to scrape up the browned bits at the bottom of the pot
9. Not only do these browned bits add flavor to the finished dish, but if you have any browned bits stuck to the bottom, the pot will not come to pressure
10. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir to combine
11. Return the pork chops to the pot
12. Select CANCEL
13. Secure the lid on the pot
14. Close the pressure-release valve
15. Select MANUAL and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 5 minutes
16. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to sit undisturbed until the pressure has released
17. Serve the pork chops with the rice
18. Be sure to push the rice down under the cooking liquid to ensure the rice cooks
19. Use pork chops that are ¼ inch thick or thinner to ensure that they cook in the same time as the rice
