How To Make One Skillet Mediterranean Pork and Rice
One Skillet Mediterranean Pork and Rice
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
- fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat 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.
- Add 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.
- Add 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.
- Add 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.

I made this tonight and the rice took longer than expected and I had to add more water but otherwise it was a nice low calorie dinner.
This sounds perfect for weeknight dinner!
Made this for dinner tonight. It was fantastic! Great flavor. My entire family loved it and asked for it to be a regular!
So glad you liked it!! 🙂
What is the size of a serving?
Beth, one serving is 1/4 of the whole meal. I don’t weigh my meals. You can eat less or more.
I love skillet meals like this. So good!
30 minutes, that’s amazing!
Thanks, David! I hope you and your family enjoy it! One skillet meals are my favorite weeknight meals. 🙂
Now this looks like my kind of weeknight meal! I love how colorful the skillet is…and it sounds absolutely delicious. I’ll have to add this to our menu for next week. Thanks so much for sharing! #client
