Rice And Pork And Beans
Ingredients:
– 1 pound pork loin chops, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Cook for another minute to release the flavors of the spices.
4. Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the onion and spice mixture.
5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, add the browned pork back to the skillet, along with the drained black beans. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pork is cooked through.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the seasonings at this point, adding more spices if desired.
8. Once the dish is cooked to perfection, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.
Enjoy your delicious Rice And Pork And Beans hot, straight from the skillet to the table.
