After all, rice and pigeon peas is the classic holiday meal. This Arroz con Gandules recipe only needs a few essential GOYA® pantry staples, so your family can make Arroz con Gandules for celebrations all year round. Heat oil in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ham to pan; cook until brown, about 5 minutes.
Some nations have different ways of preparing the dish; Jamaica, for example, serves a lighter (in color) version of arroz con gandules, which they call rice with gungo peas. I honestly believe that the Puerto Rican version is the most well-known.
Rinse the rice with cold water, drain and set aside. Heat the oil and sofrito in a 6-quart Dutch oven or caldero over medium-high heat, 2 minutes. Stir in the gandules with liquid, tomato sauce, olives, sazón, adobo and black pepper to taste then bring to a simmer.
In a medium pot, put gandules in one cup of water and bring to a boil over medium heat, about 7-8 minutes, uncovered. Meanwhile, you will be making the base for this dish: In a dutch oven pot, add the canola oil over a medium flame. Dice the salted pork into about 1-inch cubes, add to the pot and then lower the flame.
