Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup diced pork (if making the rockin' pork roast recipe, trim a slice off before cooking and use for this)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 (1 tbsp) envelopes sazon seasoning
  • 2 cups long- grain rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 (16 oz) can pigeon peas

Directions:

  1. For the Rice:.
  2. In large saucepan on high heat, saute onions and reserved pork in the butter until lightly browned. Add sazon, adobo, rice, water and reserved sofrito. * Cook's Note: Do not stir at any point.
  3. Cook about 10 minutes on high or until the water begins to evaporate to almost the level of the rice. Add pigeon peas and cilantro. Cover with lid, reduce heat to low and let cook until water is totally evaporated and rice is tender(*see Chef's note below). Remove from heat.
  4. *Chef's Personal Note: For best results, cook rice for 25 minutes after covering with lid. Turn off heat and let sit another 10-15 minutes.
