Steps:

• Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add pork and saute until browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and heat until fragrant. Add gandules, recaito, sazon seasoning, and olives. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add rice to the pot and stir to coat. Add 1 1/2 cans' worth of water; bring to a boil and cover. Simmer until rice has absorbed most of the liquid and formed a "crust" on the bottom, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir mixture near the top, avoiding the crust, after 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Over medium heat, heat oil in a large saucepan.
• Add ham, chorizo, onion and green pepper, garlic and cumin.
• Sauté until vegetables are tender.
• Add beans, tomato sauce and Tabasco sauce.
• Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add in remaining ingredients and 4 cups water.
• Bring to boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the beans and simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve over White Rice, garnished with cilantro.
• In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil over high heat and add the oil and salt. Stir in the rice, cover with a lid and let cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. Lower the heat for the last 5 minutes. The rice should be soft and fluffy.

• In a large heavy pot, with a tight fitting lid, put the 2 and 1/2 cups water, the tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Bring to a boil and stir in the rice.
• Bring to a boil again over medium high heat.
• Stir.
• Boil for about 1 minute and then put on the lid and reduce the heat to medium low.

• After the 20 minutes or so, take off the lid and with a large spoon begin lifting the rice from the bottom and bringing it to the top.
• Check for doneness.
• If not quite done, put the lid back on for another 10 minutes and check again.
• When done, put the lid back on and reduce heat to low for another 5-10 minutes and then turn off the heat.

• Place over medium low heat and cook stirring occasionally without a lid until it is thickened and hot.
