Helpful hints
-
See Sofrito recipe on DaVita.com.
-
For more protein add one-cup chopped chicken. Adds 4 grams of protein per serving. Use half a rotisserie chicken with the skin and bones removed to save time.
-
Bijol®, a brand name for achiote or annotto powder, gives a yellow-orange color to the rice. It is a replacement for saffron. If unavailable, substitute equal parts paprika and turmeric.
-
Frozen or dried cooked pigeon peas may be substituted for canned peas.
