- 1
If using pork or chicken, heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.

Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the tomato sauce, sofrito (or herbs), and achiote powder/oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Return the browned meat to the pot (if using). Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat it with the mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and add the pigeon peas.
- 5
Bring the mixture to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Let the rice rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat. Fluff with a fork before serving.
