Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 0.33 pound Pork chops diced in bite sizes pieces
  • 0.33 pound smoke pork chops diced in bite sizes pieces
  • 1 cup Spanish corizo diced in bite sizes pieces
  • 1 cup Longaniza sausage diced in bite sizes pieces
  • 2 cubanela peppers diced
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups rice
  • 1 tablespoon bitter orange optional, but it adds a zing
  • 1/4 cup olives if you're into that
  • 1/2 cup cilantro

Instructions

Browning the Meats

  • Heat Oil: Fire up half the oil in your favorite pot over medium heat. Toss in the meats and cook until they’re golden-brown. If there’s excess fat, get rid of it.

Sautéing the Veggies and Spices

  • Cook Veggies: Throw in the veggies, oregano, onion, garlic, and pepper. Sauté until they’re well cooked.
  • Add Tomato Paste and Rice: Stir in the tomato paste, rice, and salt until everything’s combined.

Cooking the Rice

  • Add Water: Pour in water (check your rice’s instructions) and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover, and stir occasionally. If you’re a fan of crispy rice, now’s your chance for some magic.
  • Simmer: After about 15 minutes, uncover, drizzle in the rest of the oil, and scatter the cilantro for that glossy, tasty finish. Cook for another 10 minutes. Taste the rice; it should be fluffy and flavorful. If it needs more time, let it simmer a few more minutes on low heat.
