Maple Pork Chops with Pumpkin Risotto

Melt margarine in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Cook pork in margarine 5 minutes, turning once, until brown. Remove pork from skillet; brush both sides with maple flavoring.

Add rice and garlic to skillet. Cook over medium heat 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Stir in pumpkin and 1/2 cup of the broth. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Stir in an additional 1/2 cup broth. Continue cooking about 15 minutes, stirring constantly and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time after previous additions have been absorbed.

Add pork and any remaining broth to skillet. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until pork is slightly pink when cut near bone and rice is creamy and just tender. Stir in cheese and salt.
