- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1-1/2 cup onions, chopped

Instructions
- Season the pork and chicken with salt and black pepper. Fry the pork and chicken in the oil in a heavy cast-iron pot or Dutch oven until cooked through, turning frequently; reduce the heat. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pork and chicken mixture to a bowl using a slotted spoon, reserving the pan drippings.
- Saute the onions, bell pepper, green onions and garlic in the reserved pan drippings until the onions are tender. Return the pork mixture to the pan and mix well. Add the rice, water, hot sauce, salt, red pepper, bouillon cubes and Kitchen Bouquet and mix well. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bake, covered, at 300 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 20 minutes.
