- 1 large vegetable or chicken bouillon cube
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 can black beans
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 1/4 cup sofrito
Instructions
- 1
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot with a snug-fitting lid, warm the oil over medium heat.

Introduce the sofrito to the pot and sauté it until it softens and releases its aroma, stirring for about 3 to 4 minutes.

Incorporate the rinsed beans and rice into the pot, mixing everything together thoroughly.

Pour in the water along with the sazon, bouillon, and salt, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a boil over medium heat until the liquid has nearly evaporated, just barely covering the rice.

Swiftly place the lid on the pot and reduce the heat to low, cooking for 15 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for an additional 5 to 8 minutes without lifting the lid, allowing the steam to finish cooking the rice.
