Ingredients

  • 2 large red (or yellow) bell peppers
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 2 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced, fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • ½ cup sliced green olives with pimientos
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin, divided
  • 1 (10 oz) package yellow rice mix
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Steps

    1. Cut bell peppers and onions into ½-inch-thick slices. Cut pork into thirds and season with salt and pepper (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pot; add pork and cook 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove pork and cover to keep warm.
    3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add peppers, onions, and garlic to pot; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Stir in tomatoes (do not drain), capers, olives, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons cumin.
    4. Return pork to pot and cover; simmer 30 minutes or until pork is 195°F (for shreddable). Remove pork from pot, shred, and stir back into pot.
    5. Meanwhile, cook rice following package instructions, adding remaining 1 tablespoon each oil and cumin; stir in peas during last 1 minute of cook time. Serve pork mixture over rice.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
