We all know this is the main dish of a puertorican.
And most of us would love to learn how to make this
delicous plate but we think that is pretty hard but NO!!!
I will write the recepes down so you could give your family a tasty Puerto Rico meal.
1 lb. raw medium or long grain rice1 15 oz. can gandules (pigeon peas)2 1/2 tbsp. sofrito*2 envelopes sazón seasoning with achiote 2 tbsp. Manzanilla olives1 1/2 tsp. capers1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce1 envelope onion soup* (my secret)16 oz. water
Place the vegetable oil, sofrito, sazón with achiote, gandules, olives, capers, onion soup and tomato sauce in a big pot.Thoroughly wash rice and add to the other ingredients.Pour water over the ingredients and stir well.(Water should be about 1 inch above the ingredients).Boil on medium high until all the water is absorbed.Reduce heat to low and cover the pot with aluminum foil* and lid.Cook for 35-40 minutes, depending on your stove.Serve with pasteles or tostones.
Tips
If you use onion soup, it will give your rice a better flavor and there is no need to use salt.Rule of thumb: Add 1 1/4 tbsp. of sofrito for every cup of rice you are cooking.Placing aluminum foil over the pot of rice. It gives the grains a chance to all pop evenly.(Another one of my secrets).
I hope you enjoy this delightful meal.
