Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of white rice
- 1 cup of gandules (pigeon peas), drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
-
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
-
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the rice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the rice in the spices.
-
Pour in the broth and add the gandules. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
-
Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
-
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
