Directions:
Sautee onion and green pepper in oil until soft
Add can of tomato sauce, one can of water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce some salt and pepper

Simmer, stirring often until all liquid is absorbed. I add more water as the rice cooks if it appears to be absorbing the sauce too quickly and the rice is too hard.
Cut olives and add to the rice. You can also add a little olive brine.

My dad was born in Puerto Rico. The family lived there for the first ten years of his life. My Mom created this to Dad's memory. I wrote this down from watching my Mom make it.
