8 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (I like boneless and you can use chicken)
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 chopped yellow onion
2 cups of long cook rice, (I like to use brown and throw some wild rice in too)
4 cups of water (sometimes I add extra flavor with Better Than Bouillon)
2 peeled and chopped tart apple (Granny Smith or Macintosh are both perfect)
1 15 ounce can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp ground marjoram or poultry seasoning is good too
Trim excess fat from pork chops; season lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown quickly in olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the meat and add chopped onion. Saute till it is slightly cooked. Combine all remaining ingredients, (excluding the meat) with the onion; mix well, then pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Arrange chops on top of this mixture. Cover, (heavy duty foil works well) and bake for 2 1//2 hours at 325 degree oven. Serves 8.
