Exactly what I do. I get a little fond from that but the cubed boston butt is what really sets the bottom for me. The fat left on each piece helps as well. I just season it and let it stick. Deglaze with a tiny bit of stock and do it again until I have the whole bottom of the pot covered. Then I throw my onions in and a little more stock and deglaze again. That does the trick every time.
OP you're likely not browning your pork enough. And some people start with their onions and just keep cooking them down until they're caramelized like mentioned above. That certainly works too.
Or you can use Kitchen Bouquet. I don't...but don't knock anyone who does. If the flavor is there and the rice is popped, that's all that matters to me.
