Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in diced onions, chicken bouillon, Sazón seasoning and saffron. Saute until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in diced bell peppers, tomatoes (See Note 1). Stir to mix and cook 5 minutes more.
- Add rice to the pot, stirring to coat. Cook rice a minute or two. Pour in 1 1/2 cups hot water, stir to combine. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low and simmer 25 minutes, covered, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed completely.
- Remove lid, fluff with fork and add frozen peas and pimentos. Toss to mix in and cover. Allow to rest 5 minutes. Fluff again, season to taste if needed and serve.
Notes
- I have also made this substituting the bell peppers and tomato for 1/3 cup GOYA Sofrito (tomato based sauce). Follow recipe instructions the same.
