Puerto Rican Rice and Beans Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

1 pound pork roast, diced

3 teaspoons minced garlic

1 (15 ounce) can gandules (pigeon peas), drained (such as Goya®)

1 cup recaito (such as Goya®)

1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with achiote

1 (5 ounce) jar pitted green olives

3 cups long grain rice, rinsed

water as needed

Methods :

Step 1

Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add pork and saute until browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and heat until fragrant. Add gandules, recaito, sazon seasoning, and olives. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add rice to the pot and stir to coat. Add 1 1/2 cans' worth of water; bring to a boil and cover. Simmer until rice has absorbed most of the liquid and formed a "crust" on the bottom, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir mixture near the top, avoiding the crust, after 20 minutes.
