I made this exactly as told except I used frozen brown rice instead of instant. We really enjoyed this. It encompassed all of the flavors of my mom's pork chops with apples, with slightly less fuss. I think the balsamic vinegar brings the flavors up a notch too.
This was yummy and quick too. I left out the mushrooms because my husband doesn't like them and it was still good.
So tasty! I usually don't like rice, but this recipe went fast.
This is a good recipe, goes together fast. The vinegar helps a lot by giving it a flavorful tang. I used instant brown rice as directed. Next time I'll either precook regular brown rice, or add more broth or less instant rice for added moistness.
Rave reviews from everyone! Wonderful flavor combination. I used regular brown rice precooked. Everything else the same.
Classic combination of pork and apples. Love how simple and easy this is. It is wonderful and my family loved it.
Delicious and fast. I followed the recipe exactly except I used short-grain brown rice which I cooked ahead of time. Will make again--soon.
