I created this recipe after returning home from a trip and finding little food in the house. I used ingredients already available in the refrigerator and pantry. My husband loves this pork dish because it's tasty, and I love it because it's easy. —Allison Gapinski, Cary, North Carolina

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium green pepper, julienned
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 pounds boneless pork loin chops
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 small carrot, julienned
1 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups uncooked instant rice

Directions

Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat; add oil. Add green pepper; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove pepper and set aside. Press cancel.
Mix cumin and chili powder; sprinkle pork chops with 2 teaspoons spice mixture. Place pork in pressure cooker. In a small bowl, mix tomatoes, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, hot sauce, salt and remaining spice mixture; pour over pork. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 6 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure.
Stir in chicken broth, breaking up pork into pieces. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat; bring to a boil. Add rice. Cook until rice is tender, 5 minutes longer. Serve with sauteed green pepper.
