Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- In a medium pot, stir together wild rice medley, half the stock powder, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 20-24 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel, then halve sweet potatoes lengthwise.
- Cut sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- To the prepared baking sheet, add peppers, sweet potatoes, half the garlic salt and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast veggies in the middle of the oven for 18-24 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium (large pan for 4 servings).
- While the pan heats, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl pan for 30 sec, until butter melts.
- Add pork and pan-fry for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
- Transfer pork to another parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the top of the oven for 8-10 min, until cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, halve snap peas.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- To a small bowl, add cranberry spread, whole grain mustard, remaining stock powder and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Stir to combine.
- When pork is cooked, transfer to a plate. Rest pork, covered, for 2-3 min.
- Reheat the pan over medium.
- Add snap peas and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender-crisp and bright green. (TIP: Be sure to scrape up any browned bits from the pan for extra flavour!)
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in snap peas and half the parsley.
- Reheat the pan over low. Add cranberry sauce mixture as well as any pork resting juices from the plate. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until warmed through and lightly thickened. (TIP: If sauce thickens too quickly, add water, 1 tbsp at a time.)
- Thinly slice pork chops.
- Divide rice, pork and veggies between plates.
- Spoon cranberry sauce over pork.
- Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
