Provided by Giselle

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 can pink beans
2 tbsp olive oil
3 heaping tbsp sofrito
1/2 tsp vegetable bullion
2 tsp sazón/seasoning
3 tbsp tomato sauce (Goya is my favorite)
1 cup pumpkin in chunks
1 1/2 cup water (Less for thicker sauce)
1/4 tsp or to taste salt (Remember the "sazón" already has some salt)
1/2 tsp organic cane sugar
2 cups medium grain white rice
1 tbsp oil (Any type of oil will be okay)
1 tsp salt or to taste
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups medium grain white rice
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt or to taste
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan at medium/high heat
  • Turn down the heat to medium/low and add the sofrito, sazón, and bullion. Stir fry for about one minute.
  • Add tomato sauce and stir the mix every now and then, for about two more minutes
  • Add pumpkin chunks and water. Bring it to a simmer for five minutes
  • Add the beans, salt and sugar. Let it simmer, covered, for 15 minutes
  • Taste the sauce and adjust salt and/or sugar to taste. If it's a bit acid, add sugar in increments of 1/8 tsp until it reaches desired taste. Or add some salt if it's too bland for your taste.
  • For runny sauce, serve them right after. For thicker sauce, let them simmer uncovered for a few more minutes until they reach desired level of thickness. Make sure to stir every now and then, so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Serve over rice
  • Add all ingredients to the rice maker pot, and follow the rice makers instructions. It's usually just turning it on, or clicking on the "white rice" button, if your rice maker is multi-tasking.
  • Combine the water, salt, and oil in a pot on medium/high heat. When it starts to boil, pour in the rice and stir the rice so it's even covered by the water.
  • Leave it uncovered at medium heat until it absorbs the water. After the water is absorbed, cover the rice and cook on medium/low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice grains are soft.

PUERTO RICAN RICE AND BEANS (ARROZ CON HABICHUELAS)



Puerto Rican Rice And Beans (Arroz Con Habichuelas) image

The recipe is very flexible in the type of chiles used. Blend a couple of types for complexity. The dish is also great for splashing on your favorite hot sauce too. You can also add beer instead of water when things are looking a bit too dry. It also can be fun to mix in a few different types of beans, like black beans and pintos. It isn't a requirement to use a pressure cooker, but it is fast and the flavor from the ham hock to the beans is greater. From: the First Bay Area Chile Heads HotLuck

CUBAN-STYLE YELLOW RICE



Cuban-Style Yellow Rice image

Yellow rice is a staple in the Caribbean because of its beautiful color and flavor. Being Cuban, our household often served yellow rice. It's traditional to garnish yellow rice with pimentos, but I don't like them so I don't. Serve yellow rice with Cuban-style roast pork, or add cooked chicken pieces while cooking the rice to make Arroz con Pollo.
