Instructions

1
Cut the pork into even cubes and pat it dry with a paper towel.
2
In a large cast-iron pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pork and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until browned on all sides, then transfer it to a plate.
3
Add the chopped onion and carrot to the same pot and sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
4
Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini and chopped garlic. Sauté everything together for another 3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
5
Add the rinsed rice, ground sweet paprika, salt and ground black pepper to the pot. Stir the ingredients for 1 minute so the rice absorbs the spices.
6
Add the chopped tomato, return the seared meat along with its juices, and pour in the warm broth. Add the bay leaf and mix well.
7
Once the liquid comes to a boil, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer slowly for 25 to 30 minutes, until the rice and meat soften and absorb the flavorful liquid.
8
Before serving, remove the bay leaf from the dish, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top, and serve warm.
