Caribbean Yellow Rice And Pink Beans Recipe

Rice and beans are staples in latin caribbean food. You've probably heard about rice with black beans and rice with pigeon peas, but this recipe combines yellow rice with pink beans. Pink beans are actually a pinkish-brown in color and have a semi-sweet taste. They are lighter but similar in appearance to red kidney beans. Theoretically, you can use any type of bean you prefer in this recipe and, to speed things up, canned beans have been used here. What makes this dish distinct is the use of sofrito (see all about sofrito after the directions) and sazn with annatto (a seasoning available at latin markets).
