📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Loin Filet, cut in strips
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 bell pepper (I used 1/2 red and green peppers)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 2 cups vegetable stock (or water)
• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1/2 cup garbanzo beans
• 10 black pitted olives
• 1 lemon

• salt and black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (I used 12" skillet). Add pork loin filet strips to the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer cooked strips to a plate.
2. 2Add chopped carrots, bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet, and if necessary add more olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
3. 3Add rice to the skillet and stir well. Season the rice-vegetable mixture with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Add lemon zest to the vegetable stock and pour over the rice mixture. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 12-14 minutes until rice is cooked.
4. 4Add the juice of 1 lemon and the cooked pork slices to the rice-vegetable mixture and stir well. Add garbanzo beans, olives and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
