In a medium size caldero add the oil, tomato sauce, alcaparrado, sofrito and sazon.
Cook over medium heat for 4 minutes.
Add all other ingredients,and enough water to cover the rice 1" above the rice line.
Start with 1 teaspoon of salt stir and keep adding and mixing well until you are
satisfied with the taste.
Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until most of the water is absorbed.
Once the water has been absorbed, stir gently from bottom to top,once or twice only.
