I made this rice exactly as written. First I made the achiote oil. Then I made the sofrito recipe from Daisy's book 'Latin Flavors That Will Rock Your World' (it differs from this posted recipe in that adds culantro and little sweet peppers to the mix. I followed the rice recipe exactly. Wow. It was so much better than I had anticipated. My family loved it. This recipe is really well-written. If you follow the cooking instructions precisely, your rice will be perfect. The texture was perfect and the seasoning was really delicious. I did not need to add any Sazon! By the way, I found jars of alcaparrado already pitted (Goya and annatto seeds in the Spanish food section of the international aisle of my local supermarket. Culantro has long, tapered, jagged spears and is similar to cilantro in taste but even stronger. I found it in a produce store in a Hispanic neighborhood near my home. The little sweet peppers I mentioned are called 'ajicitos' and resemble scotch bonnet peppers, so be careful when selecting them! I also found them in the Hispanic produce market.

I had made the rice earlier today and left it warming while I went to pick up some things at the store. When I came back, my kids and their friends had already dug in and started eating. As soon as I opened the door, they all started telling me how fantastic the rice was, barely able to get a word out because they couldn't get enough of it. They absolutely loved it! My son's friend told me it was the best rice he had ever eaten. Now, that's a compliment!! Thanks Daisy!! This is definitely going to be something I'll make again and again.

I love love love this rice, it is awesome! As a Honduran, I grew up eating foods very similar to the ones Daisy cooks but as an adult have found it difficult to re-create in my own kitchen (my grandmother is not the best recipe writer, because cooking is second nature to her. Since Daisy came on the network, I have been able to make delicious dishes that taste just like my grandma's cooking and I am thrilled. This rice is amazing, and goes perfectly with the ajillo chicken. I am a BIG big fan of Daisy's! On a sidenote, I left out the alcaparrado because I hate olives, but I still foound the rice perfect.

Loved this dish! I added a can of drained black beans at the end. Served with a salad. Complete vegetarian meal and sooo good! Full of flavor. Daisy's recipes are always full of great flavor!

This was a great recipe! I love yellow rice and normally make it with Saffron but this tops anything I have ever tasted. Initially I was apprehensive about the sofrito but it turned out Beautifully! I froze the leftovers and will use it again. The flavor of this rice was so authentically Puerto Rican. I have traveled in Puerto Rico and had a similar dish with the olives etc at El Yunque the rainforest. My whole family enjoyed it and I had some for lunch today...it is only better the second day. I bought the olive and pimento salad but ended up not using it because the olives had pits in them . I had to substitute green pimento stuffed olives and that was fine. All I can say is Viva Daisy...keep those recipes coming.

Daisy, you hit a home run with this one!! By the way to answer Null's question about how to find the Sofrito, it is at the bottom of this recipe!!
