Before we start cooking today, let me tell you my sad news. My laptop is in the shop. :( It has been for a few days now. Yes, I can use this one (Jorge's), but it just isn't the same. Apparently, even with all my anti-virus protection, my computer was BADLY infected. And I don't know how it happened! Grrrr....
One of the first and simplest Puerto Rican recipes I learned to cook was corned beef and rice. I admit, it's high in sodium, so I don't advocate eating it every day, but every now and then, it is soooo good! I quit measuring for this a long time ago, so I had to slow down and pay attention to what I was doing this time.
Don't forget your music to cook by.....
PUERTO RICAN STYLE CORNED BEEF AND RICE
5 Tbsp canola oil
1 potato, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
10 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced
1 packet Sazon
1 packet chicken bouillon
1/4 tsp Adobo
1 8-oz. can Iberia Spanish-style Tomato Sauce
6 oz. beef broth
1 can corned beef
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
Fry chopped potato in canola oil. Remove from pan; drain on paper towel. Add onion, garlic, pepper, and seasonings to pan. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add tomato sauce and beef broth; bring to a boil. Add corned beef; lower heat to simmer. It will probably be necessary to break up beef with fork. Cover and cook at least 15 minutes. Stir in potato and green onion; cook additional 5 minutes. 
Serve with white rice.
Remember the tostones and garlic sauce? Serve with the corned beef and rice.....Que bueno!
Until next time, Happy Cooking! : )

Can I do this with a real Corned Beef Brisket? I have a recipe from Alton Brown (FoodNetwork)
Hmmm....interesting question. I don't think it would work. The canned variety is more of a ground meat and tastes different. If you do try it, please let me know how it turns out. Thanks for stopping by! : )
Yes it is very interesting, but I recommend you to try the argentinian beef with french frites. Are awesome. I have been there last year and I tell you. It is like having a party in the stomach. I have rented some apartments in buenos aires and I have stayed for two months. Just becaus of the meat. :)
I'm going to make this for my Hopi in laws and friends! The Goya Adobo is hard to find these days, but I think I can come up with something similar on my own. GREAT recipe!
