Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork shoulder or pork loin
• 200 grams White rice
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Carrot
• 500 milliliters Chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork into bite-sized cubes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.

Step 3

Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the carrot into small cubes.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and diced carrot to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the paprika and soy sauce, then return the seared pork to the skillet.

Step 8

Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir to coat the grains with the savory mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, bringing the liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove from heat and let the dish rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your Pork with Rice!
