Puerto Rican Rice

This is definitely not a cupcake, but still quite tasty! Puerto Rican rice. mm mm. Originally a family friend gave us this recipe, but its so worth sharing! Now, I apologize for the lack of quality pictures. My camera died and I was using my cell phone to take pictures.

This rice goes well with BBQ, ribs, and shrimp and serves roughly about 8 depending on how big of a serving you get.

Puerto Rican Rice

• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil or enough to cover the bottom of the pan
• 1/2 small onion, chopped well
• 1 bunch of cilantro, fresh, chopped
• 1 jar pimento stuffed olives
• 2 envelopes of Sazón
• 2 Tbsp Adobo
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 1/2 cups long grain rice (not minute rice)
• 3 cups water

1. Chop up onions and cilantro well.
2. In a large, somewhat deep, but not too deep, pan, add your olive oil, or enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
3. Sauté onions until they are clear and cilantro until it is cooked down.
4. Add water and bring to a boil.
5. Add the rice, seasonings, and olives (juice too if you'd like) into the mix, bring to a boil again and cover.
6. Lower the heat and let it simmer until it is done. About 20-30 minutes.
7. Serve and enjoy!

The next time I make this, I'll have some better pictures and get these all replaced.
