Arroz con Gandules

Puerto Rico's festive rice: medium-grain rice simmered with green sofrito, pigeon peas, tomato sauce, Spanish olives and sazón until fluffy and golden-orange, then finished with fresh cilantro. It's the essential partner for pernil at holidays and family gatherings, and it's made in one pot.
