About Arroz con gandules
Arroz Con Gandules is a quintessential dish from Puerto Rican cuisine, combining rice, pigeon peas, and flavorful seasonings. This hearty recipe is typically made with sofrito—a blend of onions, garlic, peppers, and spices—as well as achiote for its vibrant color and often includes pork or ham for added richness. While high in flavor, Arroz Con Gandules can be calorie-dense due to the use of oils and fatty meats. However, the pigeon peas are a nutritious highlight, offering protein, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. For a healthier variation, you can opt for brown rice, reduce added fats, or leaner protein options. As a festive staple, this dish is celebrated for its comforting taste and cultural importance, making it a flavorful addition to gatherings and holidays in Puerto Rican households.
