A simplified version of the classic Spanish one-dish-meal paella. Easy enough for everyday, but impressive enough for company. Serve with sangria and hot French bread.

Pork Valenciana

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 yellow onions, peeled and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 bay leaf
1 (8-ounce) can tomatoes, undrained
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups rice
4 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 cup sherry
1/8 teaspoon saffron threads
1 cup green peas, thawed if frozen
1 (4-ounce) jar pimientos, drained
12 green olives
