Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork belly and sear, stirring occasionally, until edges crisp, ~6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Add rice to the same skillet and toast, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 2 cups salted water.

  3. Step 3

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 14 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  4. Step 4

    Scatter spinach over rice, cover, and let wilt for 1 minute. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill. Fold in crispy pork.

  5. Step 5

    In a separate small skillet over medium-high, sear cherry tomatoes cut-side down until blistered and soft, ~3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between bowls. Top with roasted tomatoes and any pan juices. Serve hot.
