👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sofrito and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the sofrito doesn't burn; keep stirring.
2. 2

   If using, add the diced ham or salt pork and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.

3. 3

   Stir in the tomato sauce and sazón seasoning. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

4. 4

   Add the drained and rinsed white beans, water or broth, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

   💡 プロのコツ: Using broth instead of water will add more depth of flavor.
5. 5

   Stir in the rinsed rice. Once the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes.

   💡 プロのコツ: Avoid lifting the lid during this time to allow the rice to steam properly.
6. 6

   After 20 minutes, gently stir the rice, moving the rice from the bottom to the top to ensure even cooking. Cover again and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

   💡 プロのコツ: If the rice seems dry before it's cooked, add a tablespoon or two of water.
7. 7

   Once cooked, let the rice rest, covered, off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
