Arroz Con Gandules Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft.

2. 2

   Add Gandules and Sofrito

   Stir in the green pigeon peas and sofrito, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. 3

   Add Rice and Broth

   Add the long-grain rice, chicken broth, adobo seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in chopped cilantro before serving.
