2) While the pork is roasting, prepare the rice according to package directions.
3) In a medium skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of EVOO over medium high heat. Add half of the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
4) Scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Mash in the parsley, 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice, the remaining EVOO and garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
5) Serve the pork with the rice, peppers and avocado mixture. |
