Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the rice.

Heat the canola oil and saute the sofrito for 2 minutes.

Add the sazon, water (or chicken broth), salt, corn (drained), olives and Vienna sausages. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat. When you have a full boil, add the rice stir to mix well with all the ingredients. Continue to cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated and you no longer see the water bubbling under the rice (but don't let it get too dry). Turn the rice over mixing the ingredients well and forming a dome-like shape. Put it on LOW heat, cover with tight lid and DO NOT UNCOVER for 20 minutes.

Serve with fried plantain and sliced avocado.
