Ingredients

Method

In large saucepan, sautee pork and sausages over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain off fat.

Add onion, celery, green pepper, garlic, raisins, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until onion is softened, 5 minutes. Add rice; cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Stir in parsley. Sprinkle with pine nuts and lemon juice.
