Helpful hints

  • See Sofrito recipe on ºìÌÒÊÓƵ¸ßÇåappÏÂÔØ.com.
  • For more protein add one-cup chopped chicken. Adds 4 grams of protein per serving. Use half a rotisserie chicken with the skin and bones removed to save time.
  • Bijol®, a brand name for achiote or annotto powder, gives a yellow-orange color to the rice. It is a replacement for saffron. If unavailable, substitute equal parts paprika and turmeric.
  • Frozen or dried cooked pigeon peas may be substituted for canned peas.
