rice cooker arroz con gandules
Through years of friendship with a large Puerto Rican family, I’ve picked up several tasty recipes, including this staple which is served at every family dinner. It works fine as a side dish, but I’ve often eaten it as a main dish as well (sometimes I sprinkle it with shredded cheese before serving). It was easy to adapt for the rice cooker. I usually have most of the ingredients on hand (I use frozen chopped onions and boxed chicken broth), so after a hard day at work I can throw it together, turn on the cooker, and dinner is ready by the time I change clothes and shower!
