Canoodling with the Nesco Pressure Cooker, Part 3

Markles this one is for you and Phyllis, enjoy!


Spanish Pork Chops in the pressure cooker

Spanish Pork Chops and...

In a hot non-stick skillet, brown

4 pork loin chops, seasoned with salt and pepper

When they are slightly brown, appox 2 - 3 minutes per side, remove to a platter and set aside.

In the Pressure cooker, heat

3 Tbls olive oil

Add,

2 medium onions, cut in half and sliced
1 yellow bell pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced

Cook until the onions are transluscent, appox. 5 minutes. Add

1 tbls Chili Powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
1/4 cup plain flour

Cook for 2 minutes, until everything is well coated. Add

1 can Rotel tomatoes ( or plain diced tomatoes if you don't like spicy heat)
1 cup of water

allow to come to a boil and cook until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes.

Add the pork chops and cover with the thickened sauce. Put the cover on the pressure cooker, and cook on HIGH pressure for about 9 or 10 minutes.

Allow steam to vent after cooking.

Serve pork chops over rice, with the sauce. I used a brown rice, but converted rice would be fine.

Bon Appetit!

  1. Sounds yummy! But you know Phyllis wouldn't even brown the chops first. He'd toss ALL the ingredients (including the frozen chops) in the pressure cooker at once and turn it on. :-)

  2. LOL! They'd probably be fine that way, too.
