Moro de Guandules is a flavorful rice and pigeon pea dish rooted in Dominican cuisine, often enjoyed as a staple meal in the Caribbean. Traditionally prepared with rice, green pigeon peas (guandules), and aromatic seasonings like garlic, onions, bell peppers, cilantro, and sometimes coconut milk, the dish balances savory and earthy flavors. Typically cooked with oil and a hint of tomato-based sofrito, it pairs well with meats, salads, or plantains. Nutritionally, the pigeon peas are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium, making the dish filling and nutrient-dense. However, the calorie content can increase depending on added fats or oils. Choosing brown rice or moderating oil usage can enhance its health benefits while maintaining its rich heritage and taste. Moro de Guandules is a versatile and satisfying dish, deeply cherished in Dominican homes and beyond.
