Savory Pork Chops, Salad, and Rice



Pork Chops
Ingredients:
4 Pork Chops
200g Whipping Cream
200g Crème Fraiche
280g Mushrooms, from a jar
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
Salt to taste
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)

Directions:
In a large skillet, heat the Vegetable Oil. Once oil is heated, place the pork chops in andlet them brown. Once the pork chops are cooked. Add the mushrroms and let them brown a little. Add all other ingredients and and let simmer on medium low heat. Serve with rice.

Rice (this is a base recipe for 2 servings, multiply accordingly)
Ingredients:
1 Cup of Bastmati Rice
2 Cups of Water
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil (optional)
1 teaspoon of Salt (optional)

Directions:
Put all ingredients in a small pot and set the stovetop to the highest heat. Let boil for 8 minutes and watch. The liquid in/on the rice will start to look foamy and holes will form in the rice mass. When this happens (sometime between 8-10 minutes after setting the rice on the stove top), lower the temperature to the low and put the lid on. Place the lid on the pot and let it cook for another 5 minutes. Prick the rice with a fork and remove a few grains to taste and see if it is tender enough.
*The Olive Oil and Salt give the rice a better flavor and help it not stick to the pot, but are not vital to cooking the rice, this is just my version.

Salad
Ingredients:
Crunchy red tipped Lettuce, torn to smaller peicesby hand
2 yellow Tomatoes, chopped
1/2 of a Green Onion (green part only), sliced
-Dressing Ingredients:-
Salt
Pepper
1/4 Cup Redwine Vinegar
1 teaspoon Hazelnut Oil

Directions:
Place salad ingredients in a large bowl (1/2 larger than the actual sald). Sprinkle some salt on for taste and toss the salad with 2 forks. Repeat the previous step with the pepper. These 2 steps are important inorder for the lettuce to soak-in the dressing ingredients. Dribel the vinegar over the salad (use less vinegar than suggested if you have a small salad) and then toss with the forks, do the same with the Hazelnut Oil.
