Cooking Arroz con Gandules

This is the recipe…Below..

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 or to taste
1/4 cup chopped ham or sausage or to taste
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

Unlike the meal prepared in the video this recipe is good for a more moderate
sized meal serving 3-4 people.

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. Be as generous
as you want with this ingredient depending on your preference for meat content.

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.
