Arroz con Gandules – Rice & Pigeon Peas

delish, main entrees

This Arroz con Gandules or Rice & Pigeon Peas recipe is a great dish to serve for the holidays.

My uncle’s wife who is Puerto Rican makes this every single year for Christmas. This and some pernil (roasted pork) go hand in hand. Definitely, add some beer or some dry white wine to your arroz con gandules. I suggest serving this with either roast chicken or pernil.

Arroz con Gandules (Rice & Pigeon Peas)

This is a great recipe to serve for the holidays because it packs a lot of flavor within a small bite. The rice and peas work together to give pops of flavor that compliments the chicken. The chicken itself is moist and tender from the sofrito. Try it tonight!
