- Bring the temp up to med-high and pour in water, bullion, tomato sauce, sofrito, adobo, and sazon until it comes to a boil.
- Pour in pigeon peas (gandules) and let boil for a minute.
- Pour in rice.
- Stir ONCE and put the lid on it, sealing tightly.
- Let sit for 20 minutes on low-medium.
- If the rice looks gummy DO NOT STIR IT, just put the lid back on and wait until the rice is firm (ready).
