how to make puertorican red rice beans

Fill pot with water an inch above the rice. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Put all ingredients into a large caldera pot. If not, use non-stick pot.

Start cooking on medium-high heat until it starts boiling. Then lower heat to low & cover with lid.

Cook until rice absorbs all liquid, stirring occasionally.

When liquid is absorbed, stir again, cover & let stand for @ least 15 more minutes before serving to make sure you don't end up with some hard rice.

Serve with a meat & salad. Or by itself, but I usually put some sausage in it when cooking if I eat by itself.
