Dug up this old family recipe, On vacation,bored,and hungry.
3 lb. pork rib/pork fingers, cut into pieces
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup raw rice
3 cups water
1/4 cup bell pepper chopped
cooking oil
salt, black and red pepper
onion tops(shallots), and parsley, optional
Get a thick black pot,(dutch oven). Put in enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat the oil till hot, stir in sugar and brown it.
Season ribs/fingers and brown in hot oil. Saute the onion and bell pepper until wilted.
Add raw rice to pot along with the water. Cover and cook low and slow until tenderdone. Add oniontops and parsley and cook for 15 minutes longer. If mixture cooks down too much, add a little more water.The sugar helps cut the onion flavor and adds a unique taste.
