📝 Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 4 cups white rice
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 can pink beans (15.5 oz can)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup sofrito
  • 1 teaspoon ham flavor concentrate
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sazón
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons adobo
  • 1/4 cup manzanilla olives (about 12)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a large caldero over high heat add the oil, tomato sauce, sofrito, olives, beans, ham flavoring, sazón, and adobo. Mix it well and let this cook for about 2 minutes.
  2. 2Then add the water, stir and wait for it to boil. Rinse your rice and add it to the pot once the water is starting to boil. Cover the pot and let all the water dry. This can take about 8 minutes so it is best to keep an eye on it.
  3. 3Once all your water is evaporated you want to lower your heat to medium. Now you want to stir your rice. Cover with your lid and cook for 20 minutes. Serve and Enjoy.
