1 cup water
2 tablespoons raisins
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
2 bone-in pork rib chops (3/4-inch thick and 7 ounces each)

In a small saucepan, bring the water, raisins and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir in rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender.
