Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup cilantro sofrito (jarred , find it at a mexican grocery or in the hispanic section at a general grocery)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (about 1/2 bunch, i rip it off about where the leaves end)
1 1/2 cups medium grain rice
1 1/2 tsp salt
water

Directions:

Heat olive oil over medium heat on a large saucepan.
Add sofrito and cilantro and saute, stirring constantly, until flavors are released.
Add rice and mix well. Saute for about 2 minutes. Add salt.
Add water to a level that's almost up to your first knuckle, I think that's about 1/2 . Stir well.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and check rice texture - water should be absorbed and rice should be tender. Recover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
