My husband adores mexican food and now that we're living in the south I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate more spice in my cooking (helps to keep you cool) I found a couple spanish rice recipe's here in JAP and worked them with what I had on hand and this is what I came up with. My husband was thrilled, gave it his "Plate Licker" Seal of approval. Try it out and let me know what you think!

  • 3-4 - boneless porkchops cubed
  • 2 cups uncooked rice

How To Make spanish rice with pork

  • Step 1
    In crockpot or stock pot, render the bacon on high till bacon is cooked through. Add porkchops to the bacon and saute till pork is no longer pink.
  • Step 2
    Add rice and stir, toasting it till it's just golden (watch carefully so it doesnt burn) approximately 5 minutes
  • Step 3
    Add Salsa, Tomato sauce, Broth (or water), peas, and seasonings and mix thoroughly.
  • Step 4
    turn heat down to medium low and simmer, stirring occaisionally till rice has absorbed all the liquid. When I make this on stove top the rice absorbs the liquid a little faster, usually about 30 -45 minutes ... in a crock pot it will take longer... on low, aproximately 3 hours... check to make sure
  • Step 5
    enjoy!
