Preparation

Step 1

Cook onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until tender. Add rice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth and next 5 ingredients (broth through pepper); bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; add pork and spinach. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes.

Spoon 1 1/2 cups rice mixture onto individual plates; top each with 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 1/2 teaspoons almonds.
