Gruffalo Stew a.k.a Pork Chop soup

1 family pack of pork chops bone in

1/2 cup favorite pork marinade I used Goya Mojo

2 bay leaves

4 cups of water

2 cans of tomato sauce

pinch of black pepper

pinch salt

1 packet of Sazon

pinch of Adobo

1 onion diced

1 clove garlic diced

1 cup of rice

1 can great northern beans aka white beans

Marinate pork chops in a bowl or container over night. The next day cut the pork chops from the bone and cut into 1 inch cubes. Then pan fry the cubes in a little oil. when golden brown but not fully cooked set aside to add into a large pot. In the large pot add the 4 cups of water, 2 cans of tomato sauce and the 2 bay leaves. Let water bubble lightly then add the pork cubes, diced onion and garlic and remainder of seasonings for 30 min. Then add the rice and beans and let cook for an additional 20 min on med heat. Tada! you now have Gruffalo stew. you can sub the meat for any type you like or for vegetarian version replace meat with large TVP chunks or Portabella mushrooms either way it will taste great.

Hope you like it, make your family movie day into a theme and tell me what you've got cooking ;)
