Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 lb boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/4 cups orange juice
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups water

Steps

  • 1
    In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, place flour, salt and pepper. Add pork; seal bag and shake to coat. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown pork cubes in oil on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
  • 2
    Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. With slotted spoon, remove pork from skillet to slow cooker. Stir in all remaining ingredients except rice and water.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours. About 25 minutes before pork is done, cook rice in water as directed on package. Serve stew over rice.

  • Using both red and green bell peppers makes for a colorful dish, but you can use 2 red or 2 green if you like.
  • For a change of pace, serve this flavorful stew on a bed of brown rice instead of white rice.
