Arroz Con Gandules (Rice and Pigeon Peas)
Arroz Con Gandules is a traditional Puerto Rican dish. It's usually made for special occasions.
"We are a rice eating family and it was nice to find a new rice dish. We successfully cooked this per the recipe in a rice cooker. But next time we will cut back on the water added. We made spice mix and the sauce from scratch. The Goya mixes suggested contain MSG as a first ingredient." - FatherofsevenYield: 4 Ready in 40 minutes
