I used home made soffrito and Goya Culantro y achote (spanish season packet), then the last 5 items. Use white rice and drain the liquid off of the peas. That's for those who had too much water/liquid. You made need to cut down the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. Be sure to watch your pot. Fairly good recipe.

Good,I modify this recipe adding one pound of pork chunks or pork chops. Just cook the meat and once ready in the same pot add the rest of the ingredients.

We make the soffrita all the time and I use and ice cube tray to freeze it. I just drop approximately 2 tablespoons into each "cube". After its frozen solid I take them out and put into a freezer bag. This has worked awesome. I put this stuff in everything!!

Too Mushy. 6 Cups of water plus the juice of the tomato sauce and canned peas is too much fluid for this recipe. Change brown rice to white rice...Add 4 cups of white rice instead, no tomato sauce, the two cans of the pigeon peas WITH the liquid...add just enough liquid to cover the rice....cook until it starts creating craters. I add whole spanish olives to this recipe and spice it up a little more with the Goya seasonings and cumin....it always turns out delicious and perfect on the fork! :)

My rice came out so mushy that it was inedible. I'm a good cook, I did not care for this recipe.

There is too much water on this recipe. For 3 cups of rice. I would use 4.5 cups of water. To make the crispy rice or "pegao" do the following, at the point were you stir to mix the rice and water etc, cook on medium without covering and without stirring until almost all the water is absorbed, then "turn" the rice so the rice on the bottom is on top and the top is on the bottom, be careful not to scrape the bottom layer of rice. Cover with a tight fitting lid on low for about 20-30 minutes or until tender. Also you need to use a "caldero", if you use a non-stick pan, you won't get it

I loved this! But how do you get that "sticky" crispy well done rice that is suppose to be stuck to the bottom of the pan?? I remember it growing up and that was the best part! Does anyone know? Thanks

I work at a school with a predominantly hispanic population and during a class party a student brought this in. This recipe tastes exactly like it! Although I cheated and added cooked rice at the end, stir frying it instead of letting it simmer. Saves so much time!

Good but not great. Not sure if I will make it again; my family did not care for it. I was not bothered like others by the "blandness"...it was very tasty, just felt like something was missing.

This was fairly easy to make. I didn't realize that the soffrito part of the recipe made enough for about three batches, so now after freezing it, the next two times I make it will be very easy. I will however, add more spices next time. I thought the flavor was rather bland. Next time I will add two seasoning packets.

This was not as good as I hoped it would be. Mine was mushy and a little bland. I won't be using this recipe again. I guess I will just have to bite the bullet and ask my boyfriends mom for it.

I cheated on this recipe and used jarred Goya Soffrito - good stuff and cuts some of the work out. I sauteed an onion with a little oil to start and substituted 8 oz. of the tomato sauce with the soffrito and used Goya Culantro y Achiote seasoning. It was excellent! It took far less than 45 minutes to cook since I have a gas stove top, though. Good thing I checked on it because it would have burned. Perfect recipe and will make again.
