I followed the directions exactly, except for using only two boneless pork loins. This was very good for two people and we liked it. I have left overs of the rice that we'll enjoy. Thanks for the idea of parboiling the rice. I'll do that with my other recipes, too.

Very good - we used boneless chops but otherwise made as directed for a great one dish meal. Thanks for sharing!

We love one pot meals and this did not disappoint! I used one skinned red pepper and peas for contrast. Also increased the herb/spices a wee bit. I would suggest seasoning the chops before browning. The chops were tender and juicy...perfect! This will definitely be made again. Thanks Gerry for sharing another of your wonderful recipes! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
