Traditional Saudi Baked Pork Rice

Assemble the ingredients: pork, stock, bay leaf, olive oil, yogurt, cinnamon, paprika.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the pork and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Saudi flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Saudi accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
