Sandy MikaWell SeasonedChicago, IL (pop. 2.7M)mikasldyMember Since Jun 2012Sandy's Notes:
I make rice for almost every family get together, if I don't have it , they're wondering why. Its something I always have on hand and its a quick fix.
(You can make sofrito ahead of time and freeze,to have on hand)
if you want to add ham, chicken or pork, dice some up and add it to the pan with the sofrito. You can change out the gandules for red beans or garbanzos, make it your own :]Directions
heat pan,on med high flame, then add oil, heat oil, then add sofrito,and olives and cook for a few minutes.add tomatoe sauce cook 2 minute , add sazon, adobo, cook until sauce begins to thicken a little.(it gets a little thicker and kinda bubbly) I don't know how else to explain it.add rice and stir to coat rice with sauce, continue cooking and turning rice,( until rice grains start to turn white) then add water and gandules.stir once and leave it alone, continue to cook , when it comes to a boil, add salt, stir once, cover and turn down flame to low. DO NOT LIFT COVER !!! Leave to cook for about 25 minutes.lift cover and turn rice , serve.

Sandy,the sofrito too?? I'll look today. I've never made much spanish food but love it when we eat out. It's Puerto Rican or is it primarily part of all Spanish cooking, love the way your plate looks!!! Can't wait to try it. My Mom's best friend is Cuban and her rice dishes are different. As I said I'll look today. Thanks

you can buy sofrito in the spanish section also, but it doesn't come near to having the same flavor. I did post my sofrito recipe, tho' it makes a big batch that I freeze in baggies.Or you can just add some onion, green pepper , garlic and cilantro when you make your rice.
