Spanish Style One-Pot

I got this recipe from one of the recipe blogs - sweetnicks I think. It was good but I already have a few recommendations for changes.

Serves 4
Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 20-25 minutes

1 lb, 12 oz boneless pork, cut into chunks or strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 red peppers, seeded and roughly chopped
6 oz long grain rice
1 cup vegetable stock or water
280g jar artichokes in oil, drained and quartered (I added two small jars)
400g can chopped tomatoes

Heat oven to 350. In a large flameproof casserole, brown the pork in the olive oil over a high heat. When brown on both sides, add the onions, garlic and peppers, then cook for 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the stock or water, the artichokes and tomatoes, then bring to a fast boil. Taste the liquid for seasoning. Cover with a tight lid and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve.

*I would use canned artichokes
* I would add some spice at the beginning stage because we found it a bit bland.
Otherwise, it was good and I think it has a lot of potential. it's fairly similar to a lot of other things I like, so easy to whip up :)
