Arroz con Gandules (pigeon peas) is a Puerto Rican favorite and the accompaniment to many meals. However, it is also popular in other Latin American countries. The gandules add an almost floral note to the flavor of the rice.
Fresh tomatoes, warm poblanos, delicate saffron threads, paprika, and pimiento stuffed green Spanish olives weave a wonderful magical spell punctuated by tart limes and heady cilantro.
