Low Salt, Big Flavor. Pork, Wild Rice and Broccolini.

Mission accomplished.

This meal, served on a salad size plate, is a full plate of flavor, and very low in salt. (total 85mg) The Lundberg long-grain and wild rice takes about the same amount of time to cook and baste the pork chop. This one was in the freezer, so you will have a shorter cooking time if you use a fresh chop. I cook the pork chop @ 375 for about an hour. The rice takes 50 minutes. Get your rice going first and it will all be ready at the same time. The broccolini takes no time at all, it quick steams, so this is the last step. The carrot, cucumber, lettuce rolls were fresh from the sushi counter and make a great finish to this meal.

TIP: I turn the pork chop often to baste and brown it in its natural juices. Once the juices start to get stuck to pan I add a little water, turn the chop, let it soak up the flavor and get it good and browned. I do this again at the end to have the juice to pour over the rice and top of chop.

*This dish may be even less than 85mg. of sodium. This is not a full serving of broccolini, and it's a small chop.
