ARROZ CON GANDULES RECIPE BY TASTY
A traditional Puerto Rican dish, arroz con gandules is rice cooked with green pigeon peas. This orange-hued dish is full of flavor from the herby, peppery sofrito and pairs nicely with stewed chicken, pork, or red beans. Don't worry if the bottom layer burns a bit as you finish cooking the rice--this crispy layer is called pegao and is one of the best parts of the dish!

Steps:
- To the bowl of a food processor, add the cilantro, culantro, onion, red and green bell peppers and garlic. Pulse until combined. Add the cumin and oregano and pulse a few more times to incorporate. The sofrito should have the consistency of a tapenade.
- Heat ¼ cup of canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the sofrito and fry, stirring constantly, until deepened in color but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the olives, tomato sauce, adobo seasoning, Sazón seasoning, pigeon peas, and water, and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the rice. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is fully evaporated and the rice around the edges of the pot looks dry.
- Stir, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook the rice for another 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the rice is tender and fluffy.
- Serve the arroz con gandules warm alongside dishes of your choice.
- Enjoy!

After so much trial and error I gave up trying to make this recipe just like Gma's. This is the one I use. I try to keep it as "low-fat" possible by not adding bacon or sausage like other recipes call for.

ARROZ CON GANDULES
Arroz con gandules is a combination of rice and pigeon peas cooked in the same pot with sofrito. This is Puerto Rico's national dish along with roasted pork. I make a whole pot of arroz con gandules at least once a month just for me. I eat it all week long with nothing but lots of hot sauce. This rice dish is a must for all family events, gatherings or even a day at the beach.

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.

- 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.
