 Served traditionally with black beans and green peas. |
Add a photoSpanish, Cuban, South American - a traditional and popular ethnic dish, this ranks among my all time favorites and is comfort food at its best! Most often accompanied by black beans (see link) and green peas. Rice takes on a yellow cast from that most expensive of all herbs - saffron. My mom-in-law used a flavoring packet called Vigo which contains paprika, MSG, food dyes and saffron. If saffron isn't available, sub a pinch of paprika, turmeric, a tablespoon of tomato paste, whatever ~ or just season to taste and enjoy!

For a pot luck I subbed boneless skinless chicken thighs cut in large chunks about 2" square. Then in Step 4 I added the lightly browned chicken and simmered covered just 10 minutes instead of 25 because the chicken pieces are smaller and have no bones. Then I added rice and simmered covered for the 25 minutes needed to complete cooking of chicken and have rice absorb all liquid.Этот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!Содержит вариацию
