"Don't you love one-pot meals? This is easy and tasty, from *Food and Wine*. They suggest, "The radishes that are stirred in at the last minute add a pleasant crunch. For a similar effect without the slicing time, substitute one cup of bean sprouts.""

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 green bell pepper, in 1/4-inch slices
• 1 red bell pepper, in 1/4-inch slices
• 1⁄4 lb shiitake mushroom, in 1/4-inch slices
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄4 lbs ground lean pork
• 3⁄4 cup short-grain rice (basmati, Carolina, jasmine or texmati)
• 2 1⁄2 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 10 radishes, cut into thin slices
• 5 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (from about 1 lime)

directions

1. 1 In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the bell peppers, shiitakes, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove.
2. Add the pork to the pan and cook, stirring, until it is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Spoon off the fat from the pan. Stir in the bell peppers and shiitakes, the rice, broth, soy sauce, the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt, and the cayenne. Bring to a simmer. Cover. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, without removing the lid, until the rice is just done, about 20 minutes.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in the scallions, radishes, cilantro, and lime juice. Serve.
