GANDULE RICE
A Puerto Rican dish with local Hawaiian flavor. Labor intensive, but also delicious. One ingredient, pigeon pea, is Native to Africa and is also called 'Congo pea' and 'no-eyed pea'; achiote seeds are slightly musky-flavored seeds of the annatto tree, available whole or ground in East Indian, Spanish and Latin American markets. Buy whole seeds when they're a rusty red color; brown seeds are old and flavorless. Achiote seeds are also called 'annatto' which, in its paste and powder form, is used in the United States to color butter, margarine, cheese and smoked fish.

Steps:
- Wash and cook rice in rice cooker. It is recommended to use dry cooked rice versus sticky cooked rice. In a separate large pot, add olive oil and heat. Do not fry pork, allow to simmer. Add cilantro, bell pepper, tomato paste, chicken broth, garlic, salt, cumin and oregano to the pork. Continue to simmer. Once pork mixture is fully cooked, begin ʻtaste testingʻ to determine if more spices are needed. If your mixture is to your liking add pigeon peas (gandules) and olives. Turn heat down to low and prepare achiote oil. To make the achiote oil, put vegetable oil in a sauce pan and allow to heat. Once the oil is heated add the achiote seeds and gently stir. The color from the seeds will turn the oil an orange color. Try to get the oil as close to a dark orange color. You may need to add more seeds. Do not cook seeds on high heat or for a long period of time, the seeds will begin to burn and affect the taste of the rice. At this stage your rice should be cooked. Transfer your cooked rice into a metal or aluminimum pan. Use a meshed screen strainer and pour achiote oil onto rice. Discard seeds Once rice is completely orange add the pork mixture. Use a large spoon to evenly mix all ingredients. Once again, ʻtaste testʻ the finished gandule rice, you may need to add salt. If you want rice to be more moist, you may add more chicken broth at this time as well. If not consuming at this time, if your rice cooker has a warm setting you may keep rice in the cooker or refrigerate once it cools down. To reheat, use microwave safe dishes. NOTE: This recipe is based on estimated measurements. All ingredients are listed as is. It is your choice to decrease or increase ingredients according to your liking. 5 cups of cooked rice added with pork mixture yields approximately 8-10 servings.

ARROZ CON GANDULES RECIPE BY TASTY
A traditional Puerto Rican dish, arroz con gandules is rice cooked with green pigeon peas. This orange-hued dish is full of flavor from the herby, peppery sofrito and pairs nicely with stewed chicken, pork, or red beans. Don't worry if the bottom layer burns a bit as you finish cooking the rice--this crispy layer is called pegao and is one of the best parts of the dish!

Steps:
- To the bowl of a food processor, add the cilantro, culantro, onion, red and green bell peppers and garlic. Pulse until combined. Add the cumin and oregano and pulse a few more times to incorporate. The sofrito should have the consistency of a tapenade.
- Heat ¼ cup of canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the sofrito and fry, stirring constantly, until deepened in color but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the olives, tomato sauce, adobo seasoning, Sazón seasoning, pigeon peas, and water, and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the rice. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is fully evaporated and the rice around the edges of the pot looks dry.
- Stir, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook the rice for another 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the rice is tender and fluffy.
- Serve the arroz con gandules warm alongside dishes of your choice.
- Enjoy!

ARROZ CON GANDULES
Arroz con gandules is a combination of rice and pigeon peas cooked in the same pot with sofrito. This is Puerto Rico's national dish along with roasted pork. I make a whole pot of arroz con gandules at least once a month just for me. I eat it all week long with nothing but lots of hot sauce. This rice dish is a must for all family events, gatherings or even a day at the beach.

- Heat a large heavy bottomed pot, or a caldero if you have one, over medium heat. If using ham or bacon, slowly cook the meat until crispy, remove meat from pot and set aside leaving the drippings. If not using meat, add olive oil before continuing with the next step. 2. Then, add the gandules, tomato sauce, green olives, sofrito, salt, adobo seasoning, sazon, ground black pepper and ground cumin. Stir to fully combine.
- Once the mixture becomes fragrant, pour in the water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the rice. Stir until rice is submerged and pigeon peas are distributed evenly.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes. Traditionally the rice would be covered with a banana or plantain leaf. However, a tight fitting pot lid will work just fine! 5. About half way through cooking, remove the lid and stir, making sure to scrape up any rice stuck at the bottom of the pan. This is a very touchy subject - some Puerto Ricans insist that you don't stir the rice while cooking. That the crispy bottom bites are the best part! While others would prefer more evenly cooked rice. Whatever you do, if you do stir the rice, make sure you only do it once or the rice can become sticky.
- After simmering for 25 minutes, remove the arroz con gandules from the heat and let it sit for an additional 30 minutes before serving. This is called letting the rice "steam". The rice is done once all the liquid is absorbed. 7. After letting the rice rest for about a half hour, remove the lid. Fluff and stir the rice, then serve warm with fresh cilantro, if desired.
