This cream of spinach soup is incredibly tasty and goes well with a few croutons on top.

Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 pound pork roast, diced
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 cup recaito (such as Goya®)
- 1 (5 ounce) jar pitted green olives
- 1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with achiote
- 3 cups long grain rice, rinsed
- 2 ¾ cups water, or as needed
Instructions
- Spray a large stockpot with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add pork and sauté until browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beans, recaito, olives, and sazón seasoning. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add rice to the pot and stir to coat. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover and stir rice at the top, avoiding the slight crust on the bottom of the pot. Remove from the stove if rice has absorbed most of the liquid; if not, cook for up to 10 minutes longer.
- You can use pigeon peas instead of black beans if desired, and any cut of pork will work.
- Add water carefully in Step 2. Too much water results in mushy rice while too little will make it dry. You should be able to stir it, and it should look like a dense soup.

Wonderful!!! My first attempt!
Make sure you cook it on a low flame slowly…low and slow
I made it in my instant pot. Pork shoulder and rice and beans came out so juicy.
