Elanthian Recipes by Our Fellow Traveler's

MENU Jypsie's Rice & Beans ********** Ingredients ********** 2 packets of Sazon* 1 1/2 c. of Sofrito* 1 tsp of Adobo /w Tomato* 1 pkg of Kielbasa+ 1 can of Goya pink beans# Vegetable Oil 2c. of Goya rice 1 3/4c. water ********** Procedure ********** In a large Pot, add Oil just enough to cover the bottom. Turn stove on to medium Slice Kielbasa into cubes or disks (any size you wish) and add to pot (stirring meat occasionally) After about 5 minutes, add pink beans (stirring occasionally) Add 1 cup of sofrito (if you like it spicy, add another 1/2 cup) Add 2 packets of Sazon and stir. Let sit for 5 minutes (stir occasionally) Add rice and water simultaneously(water should be just above the level of rice). Wait til it comes to a boil, cover with lid, turn on low. Let cook for 25 minutes - check the pot now and then to be sure you have enough water but do NOT stir. When done, stir with large fork to mix the rice and meat. Notes: *can be found in the ethnic section of the supermarket. +You can substitute Kielbasa for Salami, pepperoni, ham, fish, pork or linguica *Adobo is a great seasoning you can use on nearly anything (meats, potatoes etc). It's a great salt substitue. #Pink beans can also be substituted for Black eyed peas Add Ketchup, hot crushed pepper or Italian dressing for an extra zippy flavor (personally i don't like it with ketchup as others do but Italian dressing is a delicious addition) Recipe cooks better in a heavy steel pot. They can be found in any spanish store or professional cooking stores. Other similiar pots can be found in some regular supermarkets. Another delicious way to cook this dish: Follow the above instructions 1-6 (substitute kidney beans for the pink beans) Add cutup potatoes (small/medium cubes, triangles, etc) to the pot. Stir in 2 cups water Cook the rice in a seperate pan. Add alittle more water if needed during cooking. Simmer until potatoes are done.  When ready, it makes a great sauce with the potatoes and beans to pour over the rice.  Men  seem to prefer it prepared this way. Enjoy!
