I just made this pork and rice dish and it tasted incredible. I'm always looking for other things to do to pork (since pulling it is the popular one) and this recipe is fantastic. I adapted it slightly from A Little Claireification based on my own preferences, so if there's anything in this that you'd alter even more - I have a feeling it'll still taste amazing. Especially over rice.

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 pork chops (bone in or out, your choice)
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, sliced

- 1 can black beans, drained
Instructions
