METHOD
- In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in rice and salt and return to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, about 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Season the pork with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Sear the meat on both sides until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add olive oil and red onion. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the apple cider vinegar. Reduce for 1 minute. Stir in maple syrup. Return pork to the pan and heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Using a fork, fluff the rice. Serve with pork and sauce, garnished with parsley.
NOTES
- Alternatively, you can substitute apple cider vinegar with rice vinegar
