Steps to make Arroz con gandules (Puerto Rican rice and peas):

2. In a medium sized aluminum rice pot, heat oil and sofrito on medium high heat until oil turns green, stirring constantly.
3. Add adobo, garlic powder, sazon, pork flavor, tomato sauce, water and pigeon peas and bring to a boil.
4. Wash rice and add to pot stirring occasionally (so that the rice doesn't stick).
5. Lower heat once rice seems to have just a coat of liquid on top, cover and let cook for about 20 minutes. Do not stir too many times once heat is lowered as it will make your rice mushy..
6. Rice is done when rice grains are open..
