Step-by-step preparation

1
🍳 Prepare the base

Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the sofrito, onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and well combined.

2
🥓 Add the ham

Incorporate the diced serrano ham and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly to distribute flavors throughout the mixture.

3
🍚 Toast the rice

Add the uncooked rice and stir well for 2 minutes so it gets coated in the sofrito mixture and starts to toast slightly.

4
🫘 Add the gandules

Pour in the gandules and mix well. Then gradually add the hot chicken broth and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5
🔥 Cook

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

6
✨ Finish

Turn off heat and let rest 5 minutes without uncovering. Remove lid, fluff rice with a fork, sprinkle fresh cilantro and serve.

💡 Chef's tip: For authentic arroz con gandules, use fresh gandules when available. For a more traditional touch, add a bit more sofrito to intensify the flavors.
