Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork:Pork shoulder is a good option because it is flavorful and inexpensive. You can also use pork loin, but it is leaner and may not be as flavorful.
- Brown the pork before simmering:Browning the pork adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. To brown the pork, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides.
- Use a flavorful broth:The broth you use will add flavor to the rice. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. You can also use water, but the rice will not be as flavorful.
- Add vegetables:Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the dish. You can add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, or peas.
- Season the rice:Season the rice with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
