Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add half the garlic salt, 1 tbsp butter and 1 1/4 cups water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 14-16 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Peel, then slice carrot into 1/4 -inch rounds. Trim green beans. Roughly chop parsley.
Heat a medium non-stick pan (use large pan for 4 ppl) over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl the pan until melted, 30 sec. Add carrots, green beans, remaining garlic salt, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 tbsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and veggies are tender and lightly-glazed, 6-8 min. Remove the pan from heat. Add 1 tsp lemon juice (dbl for 4 ppl), then stir to coat. Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Meanwhile, whisk together Cream Sauce Spice Blend, broth concentrates and 1/2 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Pat pork dry with paper towels. Season pork all over with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning. Reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) , then pork. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side. (NOTE: It’s okay if pork doesn't cook all the way through in this step.)
Add sauce mixture to the pan with pork, then flip to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, flipping halfway, until sauce has thickened slightly and pork is cooked through, 2-3 min.**
Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lemon zest and half the parsley. Slice pork. Divide rice, pork and veggies between plates. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
