*This is a type of seasoned salt. Typical ingredients include, cilantro, achiote, garlic, and salt. Some brands contain MSG, so check labels carefully if you wish to avoid the additive.

In a large skillet, fry diced pork chops in oil. Add the sofrito and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes then add the tomato paste and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes more.

In a large cooking pot, place pork chop and tomato paste mixture with all other ingredients except cilantro and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Simmer very low, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Fold the cilantro into the rice. Cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
