Arroz con Gandules/ Pigeon pea rice
So, I think that I found my favorite recipe for Pigeon Pea Rice, made it this past Christmas and it was very successful, even better the next day!
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 lb. smoked ham, cubed
1 can green pigeon peas, drained
1 1/2 cups long grain rice
1 can tomato sauce
1/4 cup sofrito
1/4 cup olives "manzano" I think they might be called salad olives, they have the little green peppers inside, sliced.
1/2 tbs. powder garlic
Sazon Goya
Sautee the onions and the bell peppers for about 5 minutes, over medium heat with a little bit of butter, until the onions become translucent. add the chopped ham, and brown it.
Add the rice, slightly browning it. Then add the tomato sauce, the pigeon peas, olives, sofrito, garlic powder and the sazon, to taste. Mix it well and then add 2 1/2 cups of water.
Once it begins to boil, lower the temperature. stir from time to time, until rice is cooked. takes about 2o minutes,
