Ingredients | Arroz Con Leche Costa Rica Recipe

2 tablespoons corn oil

1 (6 ounce) ham steak, cut into small pieces

1 large onion, diced

½ green bell pepper, cut into small pieces

1 (15 ounce) can gandules (pigeon peas), drained and rinsed

½ (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Goya®)

5 tablespoons sofrito

3 tablespoons adobo seasoning

2 tablespoons olive brine

5 pitted green olives

1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning

2 cups water

1 cup white rice

Directions

Heat corn oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ham, onion, and green bell pepper; cook and stir until onion and green bell pepper are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in gandules, tomato sauce, sofrito, adobo seasoning, olive brine, green olives, and sazon seasoning until warmed through.

Pour water and rice into the pot; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent rice from sticking, until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove lid and stir rice; cover and cook until rice is very soft, about 30 minutes more.
