About Arroz con guadules
Arroz con guandules, a staple dish in Caribbean cuisine, particularly in Puerto Rican households, is a flavorful combination of rice and pigeon peas cooked in a savory sofrito base. The dish typically incorporates garlic, onions, peppers, tomato sauce, olives, and a touch of oregano, creating a rich and aromatic experience. Often prepared with coconut milk, it adds a creamy texture, while achiote oil gives the rice its signature golden hue. The pigeon peas are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium, making the dish inherently nutritious. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium due to added seasonings and olives. When balanced with fresh greens or lean protein on the side, Arroz con guandules is both satisfying and part of a wholesome meal. Suitable for vegetarians when cooked without meat, it’s a versatile dish embraced for its vibrant taste and cultural significance.
