Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine 1 cup of cooked white rice, 1 cup of black beans, 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground.

Rice and Bean Crusted Pork Chops have a rich history rooted in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. This dish combines the flavors of seasoned rice and beans with succulent pork chops, creating a delightful fusion of textures and tastes. Renowned chefs like Chef Roberto Santibañez have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The best versions of this dish can be found in regions like Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, where it is a beloved staple. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the seasoning of the rice and beans, as well as achieving a crispy crust on the pork chops. For a delicious alternative, some chefs use plantains or yuca in the crust for added depth of flavor.
