Directions:

  1. Prepare Cooked White Rice: In a heavy 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 3 cups water, 1/4 cup olive oil, and salt to boiling over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium; add 2 cups rice and cook uncovered until rice appears to be dry-10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Using a fork, bring rice on the bottom to the top, but do not mix.
  4. Reduce heat to low; cook 10 minutes.
  5. Turn rice over again and cook 10 minutes longer.

  7. This rice dish is somewhat crunchy in texture.
  8. Beans: In a 1-quart saucepan, heat water and squash to boiling over high heat.

  10. Drain squash, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid in a measuring cup.
  11. Add annatto seeds to cooking liquid and set aside 5 minutes.
  12. In 4-quart saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  13. Add onion, green pepper, garlic, chile pepper, and cilantro; saute mixture, or sofrito, 5 minutes.
  14. Strain liquid from annatto into sofrito, discarding seeds.
  15. Add tomato sauce and squash.
