Instructions

1 In a pot on medium heat add the pork and cook until the outside is browned. You
don't want to cook the pork fully through at this point.
2 Into the pot add the carrot, onion, and garlic, along with a pinch of salt and
mix everything up. Saute everything for another minute.
3 Add the rice, tomato paste, and seasoning blend to the pot and stir. Cook
everything for another minute or two, or until very fragrant.
4 Pour into the pot 4 cups (1 liter) of water and turn the heat up so you can
bring it to a boil. Once boiling give everything a swirl, lower the heat to the
lowest setting, and put the lid on. Cook for a half hour and do not open the pot
at all.
5 After a half hour turn the heat off and let rest for 15 minutes, still without
opening the lid.
6 Open the lid, give everything a good mix, and spoon into bowls to serve.
