Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 can sliced pimentos (4 oz) (drained)
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
2 cups uncooked long grain rice (washed and strained)
3 1/2 cups water
1 MAGGI® chicken bouillon cube
Pinch of achiote, annatto or turmeric powder to color the rice
1 bay leaf
12 ounces smoked chicken sausages (sliced (or 1 can Vienna sausages, cut in half))

Steps:

CUBAN-STYLE YELLOW RICE



Cuban-Style Yellow Rice image

Yellow rice is a staple in the Caribbean because of its beautiful color and flavor. Being Cuban, our household often served yellow rice. It's traditional to garnish yellow rice with pimentos, but I don't like them so I don't. Serve yellow rice with Cuban-style roast pork, or add cooked chicken pieces while cooking the rice to make Arroz con Pollo.
