Add 2 spoon fulls of sofrito, 1/2 can tomato sauce, and the can of gandules (green pigeon peas) with its juice (don’t drain the water). Mix then add the seasonings: 1/2 tbsp chicken buillon, 1 1/2 tbsp adobo, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp oregano, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp of the olives. Sautee for a few minutes then add 2 cups water, 1 packet of Sazon. Mix and add 2 cups of Jasmine rice (washed). Mix and cook on medium low until the rice peeks through. Then mix the rice and and make a mountain (push all of the rice towards the middle). Cover with banana leaves or aluminum foil if you don’t have banana leaves. Drop the heat to the lowest possible and let cook for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards turn off the heat, fluff the rice and cover again. Let it sit until its time to serve or minimum 20 minutes. (The steam will finish cooking the rice) #homemadesofrito #puertoricanfood #polloguisado #arrozcongandules #comidapuertorriqueña
