PUERTO RICAN BEANS AND RICE



Puerto Rican Beans and Rice image

Authentic Recipe, goes great with chicken or pork chops. Also can be used as a main dish - top with lettuce, tomato and avocado. When I serve it as a main dish, I always double the recipe and serve over recipe #220492 in place of the white rice. Credit for this recipe goes to my good friend Michelle.

PUERTO RICAN CHICKEN AND RICE



Puerto Rican Chicken and Rice image

Puerto Rican Chicken and Rice is a Latin classic and packed with flavor, not heat. Browned chicken simmers in rice, flavorful sofrito, olives and capers. **Note that this recipe as stated makes enough for 10 people (make in roasting pan) or cut in half for 5 people (make in skillet). Instructions for both included (See Notes).

Provided by Kevin Is Cooking

Categories     Dinner     Main

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp oil
3-4 lbs chicken legs, thighs and or bone in breasts
2 tbsp Adobo seasoning
Freshly ground pepper

1/2 tsp ground cumin
8 oz tomato sauce
3 cups (long grain) white rice
4 1/2 cups chicken stock

ARROZ CON GANDULES (PUERTO RICAN RICE)



Arroz con Gandules (Puerto Rican Rice) image

Arroz con gandules - Puerto Rican Rice with Pigeon Peas. Seriously the best rice you've ever had!

Provided by www.kitchengidget.com

Categories     Entrees & Sides

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups medium or long grain white rice, rinsed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 heaping tablespoons sofrito
4 ounces tomato sauce
1 can (15 ounces) gandules (pigeon peas), partially drained
2 heaping tablespoons alcaparrado
1 packet Sazón with Achiote (I use Goya brand)
1/2 packet ham flavoring (I use Goya brand Jamón)
1 teaspoon adobo
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground oregano
Salt and pepper to taste (start off with 2 teaspoons of salt)
4-6 cups hot water

Steps:

  • Rinse rice well in water and set aside.
  • In a medium caldero or large pot (about 6 quarts or so), heat oil and sauté sofrito until softened. Add tomato sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in gandules, alcaparrado, all of the spices and 4 cups of water. Taste and readjust seasonings, adding additional salt 1 teaspoon at a time. Broth should be heavily seasoned and on the salty side.
  • Bring to a rapid boil, then add rice and stir. You may need to add more water to ensure rice is covered by 1 inch of water. Reduce heat to a soft boil and let most of the liquid absorb and evaporate, stirring occasionally, very gently, so rice does not turn gummy.
  • Carefully mound rice towards center of pot, top with foil and cover with lid. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Stir by folding rice from the bottom up, but do not disturb bottom of pan. Cook for another 20-30 minutes, testing after 20 to see if rice is tender and cooked through.

25 POPULAR PUERTO RICAN FOODS YOU HAVE TO TRY AT LEAST ONCE

From tastingtable.com
Author Crawford Smith
  • Pernil. Pernil is the Boricua version of lechon, Latin American-style roast pork. According to The Sofrito Project, pernil is a staple on Puerto Rican tables at Christmas, but you can also get it from restaurants and food stalls throughout the year.
  • Arroz con gandules. Almost every culture has some kind of rice and beans dish. Whether it's South Asian pilaf, Cajun red beans, or Central American gallo pinto, this comforting combo has won over fans across the globe.
  • Mofongo. Puerto Rico is a country that has endured several waves of colonization over the centuries, with each new group of people adding their own ingredients and techniques to the island's cuisine.
  • Asopao de pollo. It seems like there is a universal human need for chicken soup. What soothes the soul (or possibly a hangover) better than a steaming bowl of brothy chicken with some rice or noodles floating around in it?
  • Arroz con dulce. Literally translated to "rice with sweetness," arroz con dulce is the Boricua answer to rice pudding. It brings a pop of Caribbean flavor to what can often be a bland, starchy mush, adding coconut milk, cloves, canela (Mexican cinnamon), and fresh ginger to the rice as it cooks (via Goya).
  • Tembleque. Tembleque is known as Puerto Rican coconut pudding, but it's not very much like the stuff you got in a cup for school lunch (via Simply Recipes).
  • Coquito. There's just something about the winter holidays that makes people want a thick, creamy way to drink alcohol. In English-speaking parts of the world, drinkers suddenly develop a taste for eggnog in December.
  • Caldo Santo. This is another holiday specialty, but for Good Friday instead of Christmas. Caldo santo, or "holy stew," is made from fish, so it abides by Catholic proscriptions against eating land animals on Good Friday.
  • Pasteles. The word "pastel" translates to "pie" in Spanish, but Puerto Rican pasteles aren't very pie-like. Instead, according to Sense and Edibility, they're much more reminiscent of Mexican tamales, although with some key differences.
  • Jibarito. It's unclear whether jibaritos existed under their current name until Puerto Rican restaurants in Chicago started selling them, but whether or not they originated on the island, they're a part of the Puerto Rican food canon at this point.

  • Add chicken to a large bowl. Add in 1 tablespoon olive oil and your adobo seasoning: cumin, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Use clean hands to toss the chicken in the mixture. Cover and allow chicken to marinate for 30 minutes, or you can skip this completely and begin the cooking process!
  • Next add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large deep 10 inch skillet and place over medium high heat. (If you do not have a skillet a large pot will also work very well!) Once oil is hot, add in chicken and season with a little more salt and pepper. Cook until browned 4-5 minutes, then flip and and cook an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a plate.
  • In the same skillet (it should be greased enough already for sauteing) you will make your sofrito by adding in garlic, jalapeno, diced green pepper, diced onion and cilantro.
  • Saute for 2-3 minutes, then add in your spices (also known as homemade sazon spices): cumin, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper and cook for 30 seconds. Then add in tomato sauce and water and stir well to combine.

TOP 25 FOODS OF PUERTO RICO - BEST PUERTO RICAN DISHES ...

From chefspencil.com
  • Alcapurrias. Made from green plantains and yautía (taro root), this ‘dough’ is often filled with stewed crab meat, ground beef, chicken, and even seafood.
  • Bacalaitos. These cod fritters are usually served at beach kiosks, but can also be found at road-side establishments and at cultural festivals. Like the alcapurria, they are fried in hot oil, resulting in a crispy coating and a soft but chewy center.
  • Tostones. The easiest of all the plantain-based dishes, for which you need only a green plantain and you are good to go. This side dish is made by peeling and cutting the plantain into small slices.
  • Amarillos. If you are not a fan of salty and savory, then the sweet version of the tostón may be your flavor. The difference is that it is made from a ripe plantain (one that has yellowed) that is peeled, sliced, and fried only once.
  • Pionono. This is made from a ripe plantain. Once sliced and fried, it is rolled into a sort of recipient for the meat filling. With an egg wash and grated cheese sprinkled over, it is put in the oven.
  • Pastelón. Classified as the ‘Puerto Rican plantain lasagna’, this is a mixture of sweet and savory. The dish combines fried ripe plantain with layers of ground beef for a unique flavor.
  • Guineítos en Escabeche. This is often a side to a rice dish, roasted pork, or any other meat. The guineítos consists of boiled green bananas that are marinated in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, olives, and sauteed onions.
  • Mofongo. The king of all the plantain-based dishes, this is a centerpiece of Puerto Rican food. It is made out of fried green plantains that are mashed and seasoned with garlic and olive oil.
  • Guanimes con Bacalao. A dish with a Taíno ancestry, these are part of a typical Puerto Rican meal. The guanime is made from cornflour and coconut milk.
  • Arroz Mamposteao’ This white rice and red kidney bean variety includes the key element of sofrito. Anyone who grew up in a Puerto Rican home, knows that there is always a butter tub filled with a green paste.


20 CLASSIC PUERTO RICAN CHRISTMAS FOODS – INSTACART

From instacart.com
  • Arroz con gandules. This traditional Puerto Rican Christmas food is one of the pinnacle foods you’ll find on most Christmas dining tables. Arroz con gandules is roast pork, rice, and pigeon peas cooked in bacon fat and sofrito sauce.
  • Lechón asado (whole roast suckling pig) Lechón asado and arroz con gandules are the main foods focused around Christmas dinner. A whole suckling pig is marinated in a garlic-citrus marinade and usually slow-cooked on a spit.
  • Morcilla. Morcilla (Spanish blood sausage) has an intensely rich flavor and is an essential component of Puerto Rican cuisine. The ground meat is mixed with pigs blood, spiced with chili pepper, paprika, garlic, and salt, filled with onions and rice, and then flash-boiled and cured.
  • Longaniza. Longaniza is another Christmas sausage favorite. It’s a long and thin spiced pork sausage offering a denser flavor. Instead of being ground meat, it is chopped into chunks, resulting in a rougher texture.
  • Pernil. Pernil is another favorite Christmas dish in Puerto Rican cuisine. Pork shoulder is marinated for hours—sometimes 2 days—in a garlic and oregano paste that is rubbed on, and then the pork is slow-roasted.
  • Cuajito. Cuajito is a savory dish where the stomach of a pig is soaked in vinegar then boiled in saltwater until tender to create a soup. Although this dish doesn’t sound as appealing as the others, it is traditionally a comforting broth.
  • Pasteles. Pasteles have a soft vegetable dough made from green fruits and vegetables such as mashed green bananas, green plantain flour, taro, pumpkin, and potato.
  • Guanime. Similar to pasteles, guanime is made with cornflour and is also wrapped and cooked in banana leaves. Although guanime can be made sweet or savory, traditionally it is served with salted codfish.
  • Guineitos en escabeche. Guineitos en escabeche is a popular side dish made up of marinated green bananas and is almost like a tangy green banana salad.
  • Ensalada de coditos o papas. Ensalada de coditos o papas is a fried macaroni salad made of hard-boiled eggs, ham, scallions, and capers. It’s a simple and easy-to-make pasta side dish for Christmas dinner and is also sometimes served as a breakfast dish.
