INGREDIENTS

One 6 oz. package Farmhouse® Rice Pilaf
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 Tablespoons slivered almonds
3 Tablespoons dried cranberries
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
6 boneless, center-cut pork chops, at least 3/4" thick

Orange-Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce:
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup orange juice
3 Tablespoons milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. In medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes, until soft.

  5. While rice is cooking, preheat oven to 375° and grease a 9” x 13” baking pan with non-stick spray.
