Vegetable broth provides flavor without meat.

Start with 1.5 pounds of pork chops without bones, cut into chunks.

Clean the pork chops with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice in water for about 10 minutes, then rinse and drain.

Season the cleaned pork chops with salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, sofrito, and chopped bell peppers and onions; mix well.

In a rice pot, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat and add the seasoned pork chops; cook for about 10 minutes.

Add the juice from the seasoning process to the pot along with the frozen carrots and peas, and mix.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce for flavor and color.

Pour in 4 cups of water and add fresh cilantro; let it cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or until it starts to boil.

Once boiling, add 3 cups of rice, mix well, and let it cook for about 8 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.

Cover the pot, lower the heat to low, and cook for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check the rice with pork chops; it should be ready to serve.
