Baked Rice and Pork

This is a traditional Valencian dish where leftovers from the previous days meal would be used. In the absence of leftovers, you can use this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup bomba rice
• 2 cups beef or pork stock
• 1 can of chickpeas
• 200g ton of crushed tomato
• 2 sausages with onions
• 4 slices bacon
• 400g pork ribs
• 1 tomato
• 1 clove of garlic
• salt
• either coloring or saffron

Method

Heat up stock. Meanwhile brown the meat all over in a large frying pan with olive oil. Set to one side. Fry the tomatoes with the chickpeas and rice and fry for a few minutes more.

Put everything into a casserole dish, add salt to taste and coloring or saffron, with the halved tomato and whole garlic head on the top. Place in a preheated moderate oven and cook for 20 minutes.

This is supposed to be a completely dry dish, so if there is any liquid left at the end of cooking time, cover the casserole with a lid or a newspaper and leave for a further 5 minutes to allow the stock to absorb.

Enjoy.
