Topic “sofrito”

I bought a bunch of green plantains the other day, as you can see from one of my recent posts. I had only a few options before they started to ripen, so I originally decided to make tostones and freeze them. Then an idea occurred to me.

What better way to start a food blog than with Puerto Rico's national dish: Arroz con gandules (Rice with pigeon peas). This dish is considered by many to be the food that better represents Puerto Rican food culture. It is eaten all year round and there's plenty of it during Christmas season.
