- Pork chops can be grilled outdoors, or inside on indoor grill or broiled in oven until cooked thoroughly, approximately 7 minutes depending on thickness
- Bring 1 cup rice and 2 cups water to boil in large saucepan (or use rice steamer)
- Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low to simmer until liquid is absorbed, approximately 10 minutes
- Add to remaining cooked rice: almonds, olive oil, lemon juice and salt
