Puerto Rican Rice Recipe:
- Warm pot (use a low flame)
- Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pot (about 6 tbsp)
- 1/2 - 3/4 can of gandules (drain liquid first)
- 12 - 14 olives (Alcaparrado Manzanilla Olives)
- 2 tbsp Sofrito
- 1 packet of Sazón ( con Culantro y Achiote)
- 1 1/2 tbsp salt
- 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
- 4 cups of water
- Turn up flame to high
- Add 4 cups of white rice
- Once it starts to boil, stir every couple of minutes so rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. After the rice has soaked up all the ingredients, lower flame, cover the pot and let it cook for 55 minutes. *feeds approx. 6 people*
- *Optional: Add Salchichón (farmer sausage) cut in small pieces after adding oil to pot.
