Puerto Rican Rice Recipe:
- Warm pot (use a low flame)
- Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pot (about 6 tbsp)
- 1/2 - 3/4 can of gandules (drain liquid first)
- 12 - 14 olives (Alcaparrado Manzanilla Olives)
- 2 tbsp Sofrito
- 1 packet of Sazón ( con Culantro y Achiote)
- 1 1/2 tbsp salt
- 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
- 4 cups of water
- Turn up flame to high
- Add 4 cups of white rice
- Once it starts to boil, stir every couple of minutes so rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. After the rice has soaked up all the ingredients, lower flame, cover the pot and let it cook for 55 minutes. feeds approx. 6 people
- *Optional: Add Salchichón (farmer sausage) cut in small pieces after adding oil to pot.

@lindagolden9892 2 года назад

That’s how my Grandma Pepita cooked it. She boiled the chicken first, deboned it, used the broth in place of hot tap water. I also seem to recall she added saffron which might already be included in that seasoning packet. I think she also used a small can of tomato paste in place of the tomato sauce. I believe a whole jar of olives (I prefer slicing mine first) along with diced onion are also added to the pot. 🫒

Some Puerto Rican cook do different I guess depend where u from. So weird. But looks good. We use caldero and not those ollas.. looks yummy 😋🙏❤️ I put jamoncito tocino and platano rallado y hoja de guineo para el sabor. And those ajice from the island is the best

@Chavelitavariedad777 3 года назад

Yea, I use jamoncito too, as I know the one you use platano rallado y hoja is the one they call apastelado. Me has dado idea. I am going to try that with jamoncito tomorrow for Christmas Eve. I have leaves left from a hallacas recipe a friend did on my you tube channel. A question, could it be green banano (guineo verde) instead of plantain (plátano), I dont have plantain right now. . El que ella hizo queda bueno también y es más bien para cuando no tenemos jamón u otros ingredientes.

@baricuaguy908 2 года назад

I agree it's so weird the way she cooks. I stir-fry the rice mixed with sofrito, tomato sauce, jamoncito and Sazon. And definetly Caldero!!!

Excellent video. I have had quite a few family members try to teach me years ago to no avail. I have also looked online and these were the simplest instructions. I was not stirring enough in the beginning so there was barely any regular rice most of it was stuck to the bottom..lol. This was perfection. Thank you!

@RumbleFish69 2 года назад

Great recipe... It is very similar to mine, except that I add chopped bacon or ham, whatever I have on hand. I also add two cans of gandules (without draining the water). And I use 3 cups of rice to 2 cups of water. But I do think that the rice to gandules ratio is pretty nice. There is no right way or wrong way, it's all Boricua! I'm actually making some right now! However, if you really want to add a nice kick of flavor, add a cup of shrimp! I do that once in a while when I'm in the mood for paella but don't want to go through all that work! 😉

@B4L-777 2 года назад

This came out very close to mi Abuela's. I added diced ham first and fried it up. Then, added half a large onion diced and 3 cloves garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients. I then modified the amount of salt to only 1 tbsp. and found that to be perfect. I also drained and rinsed my gandules and added 1 full can. I always wash my rice and so I did that before adding it. I used olive oil instead of canola. For variety, you could add Vienna sausage, pork or Hispanic salami instead of the ham. I made homemade corned beef and potatoe empanadillas as a side dish to the rice. Felt like when I was a kid!

@bockskarr6626 2 года назад

@nena8785 2 года назад

I agree, I was like no bay leave either? No adobo? Chicken flavoring? Oregano? Ham flavoring packet? Garlic powder? lol sometimes I add fried salami pieces or carmela Vienna sausages diced up. Then all that damn salt on top of the Sazon which has salt already … It had to be salty ….

I finally got tips from 3 people, combined their ways and added or subtracted what I liked/didn't like. You have to make a recipe your Own.
