Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Add rice, stock powder and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.Strip leaves from cilantro stems. Thinly slice stems, then roughly chop leaves, keeping stems and leaves separate.Add pork, cilantro stems, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 2 tsp (4 tsp) Dal Spice Blend to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
When the pan is hot, add mirepoix, 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water, then 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates, 4-5 min.While veggies cook, roughly chop spinach.
Add pork mixture to the pan with mirepoix, then reduce heat to medium.
