Ingredients

1 (8.8-oz) package ready cook brown rice

1 tsp. ground Aleppo pepper or 1/8 tsp. cayenne

1 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. coarsly ground black pepper

4 (1/4 lb.) boneless pork loin chops, about 1/2 inch thick

2 scallions, finely chopped

1/4 c. finely shredded fresh basil

Grated zest of 1 lemon

Directions

Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, microwave the rice according to the package directions and keep warm. Mix the Aleppo pepper, 1/2 tsp. of the salt, and 1/2 tsp. of the black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the pepper mixture on both sides of the pork.

Add the pork to the skillet and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a chop registers 160 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

Stir the scallions, basil, lemon zest, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper into the rice. Serve at once with the pork.
