Pork Chops and Risotto

1 onion chopped
1/2 c. celery chopped
1 cup brown rice uncooked
1 1/2 c. water
2 Tab. brown sugar
1/2 teas. salt
2 eight oz. tomato sauce
4 pork chops

Saute onion and celery in olive oil. Sprinke shops with salt and pepper and brown. Rmove the chops. Add water brown sugar, salt and pepper, and 1 1/2 c tomato sauce. Stir to boiling and the brown rice and stir. Return chops to skillet and cover and simmer 30 min till rice has absorbed sauce and is tender, adding little more water if needed. Pour on remaining sauce, cover and simmer 15 more min.

The risotto is so tasty just by itself without the chops. Often I make it alone to serve with chicken or by itself.
