About Rice with gandules
Rice with Gandules, also known as Arroz con Gandules, is a flavorful dish originating from Puerto Rican cuisine. It features medium-grain rice cooked with pigeon peas (gandules), a legume rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate. The dish gets its signature taste from sofrito, a blend of onions, garlic, bell peppers, and cilantro, along with seasonings like achiote or tomato sauce, which add color and depth. Often cooked in olive oil and sometimes paired with pork or other meats, it can be high in sodium and fats depending on preparation. Its base of rice provides energy through carbs, while gandules offer a plant-based source of nutrients. While Arroz con Gandules is relatively nutritious, moderation is key for those watching sodium or fat intake. It’s a staple of Puerto Rican holiday gatherings, combining hearty tradition with robust flavor.
