Method

  1. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cut the chorizo into rounds.
  2. In a deep pot suitable for making rice, heat the oil or lard.
  3. Add the meat and the chorizo, mix them, and cook over medium heat until the meat begins to change color.
  4. Add the onion and the red bell pepper cut into brunoise (very small cubes) and the crushed garlic. Stir well and continue cooking over medium heat for a few minutes.
  5. Pour in the broth, cover the pot, and let it boil for 10 minutes.
  6. Incorporate the rice and stir well so that all ingredients are integrated. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Without stirring, add the boiled vegetables. Cover the pot and let the rice continue cooking as usual.
  8. When the rice has absorbed the broth, and without stirring it, add the beer. Cover again and cook for about 5 more minutes.
  9. Stir the rice, check the doneness, adjust the salt if needed, and serve hot.
