Healthy Easy Pork Recipe - Spanish Rice with Pork & Pepper

Method :

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy nonstick skillet with a lid and brown the pork on all sides over high heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

  2. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the onion, garlic and bell pepper, stir-fry for a few minutes, until everything is softened and turning golden. Return the meat to the skillet, add the tomatoes, parsley, saffron, rice, and stock, and season to taste with pepper. Stir well to combine and to break up the tomatoes a little, and bring to a simmer.

  3. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the stock has been absorbed. (if the rice is not cooked but the dish looks dry, add a little more hot water.)
