ARROZ CON GANDULES (Puerto Rican Rice)

Fluffy, fragrant, and full of Puerto Rican soul. Christine’s Arroz con Gandules is cooked with her homemade sofrito, slow-simmered seasonings, and plump gandules that soak up every ounce of flavor. This is the rice everyone asks for — the dish that makes the house smell like Nochebuena and tastes like it came straight from mamá’s kitchen.

Pork-free version available upon request.
