Nothing more delicious than the combination of rice and spam! Arroz con jamonilla is a delicious and filling rice dish.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 spam (12 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons sofrito
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sazon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon adobo
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • 2 cups medium grain rice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Cut the spam into 1-inch cubes. In a caldero over high heat add the oil. Saute the spam for 5 minutes. Stir while cooking to make sure the spam doesn't stick on the bottom of the pan and so it won't burn.
  2. 2Add the sofrito and tomato sauce and saute for 2 minutes. Add water, sazon, adobo and chicken bouillon. Once the water starts boiling add the rice. Stir and cover. Cook for 8 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  3. 3Once there is no more liquid stir the rice and make a dome with the rice in the middle of the pan. Lower the heat to medium and finish cooking for 25 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
