2Bell Peppers, Stemmed, Seeded
1Yellow Onion, Peeled & Halved
2tablespoonsPeanut Oil
5Sprigs Fresh Parsley
1tablespoonVegetable Oil
1tablespoonButter
2cupsCooked White Rice
Salt
Pepper
2cupsSalsa Rojo, Heated
1cupSour Cream

Directions

Trim the pork. Pound with a meat hammer to tenderize. Slice into thin strips. Cut the pepper into wedges so that it fits into the feed tube of the food processor. Use the standard slicing disc. Pack the pepper wedges and the bottom of the pepper horizontally into the feed tube. Process.

Place the onion, cut side down, and slice by hand into thin strips (you want strips of pork, chile and onion of roughly the same size). Coat the bottom of a griddle with some of the peanut oil. Grill the pork, peppers and onions over high heat until the meat is browned on all sides (add more oil if needed). Use the metal blade of the food processor to mince the parsley. Melt the butter and vegetable oil in a (10"-12") skillet. Toss in the parsley and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Place the rice on a warmed serving dish. Spoon the meat mixture over. Top with warm Salsa Rojo.
