Preparation Method Steps:
- Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, chicken broth, and saffron threads. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Prepare the sofrito beans: While the rice is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the sofrito beans and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Poach the eggs: Fill a large skillet with water and bring to a simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Gently crack the eggs into the simmering water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
- Assemble the dish: To serve, divide the yellow rice and sofrito beans among 8 dinner plates. Top with a poached egg and season with salt and pepper to taste.
