Step 1
Chop all sofrito items in a food processor or chopper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a medium caldero or heavy pot on medium heat.
Step 3
Stir in the sofrito (chopped onion, scallion, cilantro, bell pepper and garlic) and cook about 5 minutes, until soft.
Step 4
Add the tomato and 1/4 teaspoon salt, cook another minute until soft.
Step 5
Stir in rice and mix well.
Step 6
Add the gandules, water, bouillon, sazon, and salt and taste liquid for flavor (the liquid should be salty enough to give it flavor).
Step 7
Mix well. Add more salt as needed.
Step 8
Reduce flame to medium-low and let water boil down until it is completely absorbed.
Step 9
Once water barely skims the top, set flame to low and cover for 20 minutes without stirring or lifting the lid.
Step 10
Remove from heat and let it sit 5 minutes. The steam will cook the rice.
