Moro Guandules Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine the Ingredients

   Add the rinsed rice, pigeon peas, coconut milk, water, salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Cook the Rice

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
