ARROZ CON GANDULES- PUERTO RICAN STYLE

2 1/2 cups long grain white rice
5 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons sofrito (jarred or make your own by dicing onion, bell pepper (any kind), garlic, cilantro and tomato)
1/4 cup chopped bacon
1/4 cup chopped ham or sausage
2 tablespoons spanish olives
1 can green or dry pigeon peans, drained
1 envelope sazon with annato
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon tomato paste
salt and black pepper to taste

Start by heating the oil in a pot at high heat, and when the oil is nice and hot, add the bacon. When the bacon is cooked but not crisp, add the ham/sausage. Once that has browned, add the Sofrito. This must stir fry all together for about 1 minute.
After that has been done add the water, then the peas, the olives, the tomato paste, and all the spices, including the envelope of sazon.

At that point, add salt and pepper to taste. Bring this up to a boil then stir in rice.

Once it has began to boil again, lower heat and stir 1 more time, then cover.

Let this cook for about 30 - 40 minutes on a low heat setting, stirring occasionally (every 10 minutes) until the rice is tender. Serve.

Answer 3

The only rice recipe that I know is spanish rice. All you do is get rice boiling in a pan and after it is done boiling you strain out all the water and add tomato soup and hamburger. You could add onions or whatever but that is how I make it because I don't like spicy foods.

Answer 4

For white rice...

Rinse rice and put in the caldero with about ¼ cup vegetable oil. Add enough hot water to cover rice 1½ inches above rice line. The ratio of water to rice should be about 2 to 1. Add salt and stir. Let it boil on high until water evaporates. Cover and simmer on low for 35 minutes. Don't stir any more.

For Seasoned Rice...

In a caldero fry chopped bacon or chopped tocino (fat-back) until crispy. Remove the cooked meat and save. In the bacon fat fry sofrito ingredients until tender - about 5 minutes or so. Add the bacon or tocino back into the pot. Add tomato sauce and any cooked meats and vegetables you desire and stir well. Add enough liquid to cover rice 1½ inches above rice line. Let it boil on high until water evaporates. Now you may stir the rice once over only. Cover and simmer on low for about 35 minutes
