Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 can sliced pimentos (4 oz) (drained)
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
2 cups uncooked long grain rice (washed and strained)
3 1/2 cups water
1 MAGGI® chicken bouillon cube
Pinch of achiote, annatto or turmeric powder to color the rice
1 bay leaf
12 ounces smoked chicken sausages (sliced (or 1 can Vienna sausages, cut in half))

Steps:

In a Dutch oven or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Add sliced pimentos and tomato sauce. Sauté for 1 minute. Add rice, water, bouillon cube, achiote and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE LID. The steam is what cooks the rice. After 15 minutes, remove from heat. Keep the lid on for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, slice the canned Vienna sausages.
If making the chicken sausages, add 1/4 cup water to a hot skillet and cook sliced chicken sausages at medium heat, turning them frequently, for about 5-10 minutes until cooked through. Cook in batches, if using a small skillet.
Fold the sausages into the yellow rice. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 cups long grain rice
3 tablespoons sofrito sauce
2 (1/4 ounce) packages sazon goya con culantro y achiote
2 (5 ounce) cans vienna sausages, save the liquid for the rice
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
salt, to taste
1/4 cup canola oil
4 3/4 cups hot water
15 pimento stuffed olives
2 teaspoons capers

Steps:

In a 5qt pot,add sofrito, sazón, vienna sausages, tomato sauce, salt, canola oil, olives and alcaparras.
Rinse the rice well and add to the other ingredients.
Add the hot water and liquid of the sausages and water to equal the amount of water specified. Turn heat up to medium high and stir well.
When it starts boiling, lower the heat to medium, and let the rice completely dry out. By now, most of the liquid will be absorbed and you will not see the edges around the rice bubbling.
Stir the rice with a large spoon, bringing the rice at the bottom to the top.
Cover the pot to a tight fit with the lid and aluminum foil and reduce the heat to low.
After about 20 minutes, uncover carefully
and turn the rice again using the large spoon.
Cover the pot again with and cook for another 10 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right type of rice. For this recipe, a short-grain rice like Valencia or Bomba is best. These rices absorb more liquid and have a creamier texture than long-grain rices.
Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot or pan. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking.
Add the rice and water to the pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring will release the starch and make the rice gummy.
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the remaining liquid.

Conclusion:

Arroz con salchichas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
