puerto rican rice (arroz con gandules)
(2 ratings)
I make rice for almost every family get together, if I don't have it , they're wondering why. Its something I always have on hand and its a quick fix. (You can make sofrito ahead of time and freeze,to have on hand) if you want to add ham, chicken or pork, dice some up and add it to the pan with the sofrito. You can change out the gandules for red beans or garbanzos, make it your own :]
