How to make it

  • In a saucepan cook the bacon till crispy
  • Remove and chop in small pieces
  • In same bacon fat, stir fry onions till tender
  • Add Sofrito for about 2-3 minutes
  • Add chopped bacon, tomatoe sauce, drained beans, the raw rice and chicken broth and stir well
  • Add enough water to cover the rice (about 1-1/2 inch above rice line)
  • Let boil (uncovered) on medium high heat until water evaporates
  • Lower heat to low and cover with ALUMINUM FOIL and cook for about 35-45 minutes
  • Tip: aluminum foil is a secret so all the rice pops fast.

    Hey guys,If younot find sorfrito or sazon in your local market.Try looking online at www.goya.com they sale it.Sazon is a saffron seasoning in a small packet .it helps with beans and also you use it to make yellow rice.Sorfrito is a tomato paste with peppers and onion and it may also have cilantro.We Puerto Ricans find it hard to make real food without it.Enjoy or as we say Buen provecho!

    sofrito can be found in the frozen section in the grocery store, it is basically a mixture of onion, garlic, red and green pepper all blended together. goes good with lots of recipes. sazon is a seasoning. check your ethnic aisle in grocery store. hope it helps.

    Sounds awesome, but ...
    • what's Sofrito?
    • what's Sazon seasoning?
    Are there any reasonable substitutions?
    Thx ~ Crystal :-)
