Pork Spanish Rice
Recipe adapted from Taste of Home Magazine Feb/Mar 2020. Easy one-pot dish that uses leftover Garlic-Apple Pork Roast to make a delicious lunch. Reduce the saturated fat 3 grams per serving by replacing the 2 tablespoons of butter in original recipe with just 1 tablespoon buttery spread such as Smart Balance®Organic. Eliminating regular butter will always reduce the saturated fat and sodium in any recipe.
