Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Cut tomato into 1⁄4-inch-thick wedges. Have, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; finely dice remaining onion. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper into 1⁄4-inch pieces.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp garlic (2 tsp for 4 servings) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in rice, 3⁄4 cup water, and 1⁄2 tsp salt (11⁄2 cups water and 1 tsp salt for 4). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, in a medium bowl, combine tomato, sliced onion, vinegar, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, 1⁄4 tsp salt, and pepper (1 tsp sugar and 1⁄2 tsp salt for 4 servings). Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a second small pot over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, diced onion, 1 tsp Loisa Organic Sazón Seasoning, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and pepper (2 tsp Loisa Sazón and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and slightly tender, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in beans and their liquid and 1⁄4 tsp sugar (1⁄2 tsp for 4). Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.
• While beans cook, pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining Loisa Organic Sazón Seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: If the pork begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium. • Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine remaining garlic, 2 TBSP oil, and 1⁄4 tsp salt (4 TBSP oil and 1⁄2 tsp salt for 4 servings). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 60 seconds. Carefully uncover and stir.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • Slice pork crosswise. • Divide rice, pork, beans, and tomato salad (draining first) between plates in separate sections. Drizzle pork with garlic oil and serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
