Puerto Rican Beans & Rice

From:  me
Ingredients:

  • 3 cups rice
  • 15 ounces canned pink or kidney beans
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 envelope sazon con azafran seasoning
  • 2 Tablespoons sofrito
  • 6 green stuffed olives
  • 1 potato, peeled and cubed

Directions:

  1. Prepare rice according to package directions.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine beans, tomato sauce, sazon, sofrito, olives and potatoes and stir.
  3. Cover and bring to simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low to low and let cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 15 minutes - you want the potatoes to be soft when pierced with fork, but not falling apart.
  4. Serve beans over rice.  Tostones make a great side dish for this meal.
