Arroz Con Gandules
Feeds 4-6)

Ingredients

1 can Goya pigeon peas (gandules)
2 cups water
2 cups of medium-long grain rice
2-3 tsp knor or salt (add to taste)
Dash of black pepper
1-1 1/2 packs of sazon con achiote (I used 1 1/2)
3/4 cup homemade sofrito
1/3 cup Goya tomato sauce
2tbsp vegetable or canola oil

(Optional)
2-3 oz salchichon or whatever smoked sausage you have on hand (make sure to cut into small bite size pieces)
4-6 pimento stuffed olives cut in halves or fours


Heat should be on medium heat when adding oil, sofrito, tomato sauce, knor, sazon, sausage, olives, water and gandules

Then switch to high heat and after you get a roaring boil add the rice and let boil until your ingredients begin to thicken up

Once thick enough turn heat to low and cover rice with a tight lid. If your lid has gaps or is loose cover pot with aluminum foil then place a flat dinner plate on top

Let rice cook for 15 minutes then remove lid and check your rice. If the rice seems too wet cover and let cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until it is to your liking.
