L. of Coquito
Arroz con Gandules
Ingredients:
2 cups rice
3 cups water or beef stock
1 can of gandules
1/3 cup of sofrito
2 Tablespoons of tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
Procedure:
A. In a deep sauce pot, simmer the sofrito in the oil for 2 minutes
while stirring. (medium heat)
B. Add the rest of the ingredients: the gandules (and their broth),
tomato sauce, water (or stock), the rice and the seasonings. Stir
to completely mix ingredients.
C. Cook on high heat until the water evaporates and the surface
of the rice is exposed, but not completely dry.
D. Lower the heat immediately to "low", and cover.
E. Cook, covered, approximately 20 minutes. Remove cover, taking
care to not let the water that's condensed on the cover drip back
into the pot! [ This might lead to what is know as arroz mogollado
(pronounced moh-go-yao) - soggy rice! The cardinal sin of any good
Puerto Rican cook! ]
F. Using a large serving spoon, carefully mix the rice by taking
scoops from the side furthest from you, and gently placing them
towards the center of the pot. Then turn the pot 1/4 turn. Repeat
3 times.
G. Taste the rice. It should be slightly firm, but not hard. If
it's hard, cover and let cook another several minutes and test again.
If it's soggy (uh-oh!), cook uncovered several minutes, turn again,
test. Repeat if necessary ¡ Buen Provecho !
