Directions
Arroz Con Gandules ( Rice and Beans),This savory dish has many variations through out all the spanish speaking countries, this is the Puerto Rican version.,This recipe was really good. Followed it almost completely, but I left out the ham and spam. ( I don’t like either and wasn’t sure what to substitute.) Tasted pretty much how I expected. I would have liked it to have a little more POW! Next time I’ll just add more of the spices.,This came out great. Its a good base for making this the first time. I would not stir the rice as mentioned in the recipe. I learned that you know you have equal amt of water to rice when a wooden spoon can stick up straight when you place it in the middle of the rice. I boiled it down to the rice line as mentioned and then placed it on low for 25min.
