This is a quick recipe for Sazon Rice Pilaf is full of flavor. Sazón is a staple in this house. We use it for a number of things including an awesome taco recipe I’ll post someday. My wife introduced this to me early in our relationship.
As you may know from our Coquito post my wife has had many Latin influences in her life. I love rice pilaf and it was only natural that I try it with Sazon. We use the Goya® Sazón with Coriander and Annatto. You can find this in the Latin aisle at your local grocery store.
If you’ve never made rice pilaf before, don’t worry it’s very easy. When I was in the Army it was some what of a staple. On any given day it would be served in the dining facility. It was okay at best. It’s not like we had real chicken or beef stock to make it and we didn’t use butter. I’ve made improvements over the years from what I originally learned. This Sazon rice pilaf is good enough on it’s own but it goes great with tacos or any Latin inspired dish. You could even add a protein to it if you wanted, it would make a great meal. More recipes?
