Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a pressure cooker, place oil and annatto seeds and cook, over low heat while preparing the sofrito; remove annatto seeds and discard.
  2. To prepare the sofrito, place the onions and peppers in a food processor and chop fine.
  3. After removing annatto seeds, add sofrito, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper; increase heat to medium and cook until softened, about 5 - 10 minutes.
  4. Add broth, water (or bouillon cubes and water), chicken, vegetables, Recaito (or chopped cilantro), and bay leaf.
  5. Place cover on pressure cooker and increase heat to medium high.
  6. Cook until it goes psish, about 30 minutes; reduce heat to low and cook about 15 minutes more.
  7. Release pressure, then remove cover and check vegetables and chicken to doneness; adjust seasonings.
  8. Remove corn and cut into 6 rounds; garnish with green onions and fresh herb of your choice; swirl in butter, if desired and aji (Aji (Colombian Salsa)) or Tabasco sauce, if desired.
  9. NOTE: If you do not have a pressure cooker, just use a large Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid. Cook on medium high heat. It will take longer to cook and you may need to add water to maintain a goodly amount of broth.
