my fav nostalgic comfort meal: my mama's puerto ri

my fav nostalgic comfort meal: my mama's puerto rican chicken & rice AKA arroz con pollo ❤️⠀
⠀
everyone's twist of a classic dish like is different — that's the great part about cooking, right? — and this one's no exception. my mom's recipe is made with:⠀
⠀
• homemade sofrito: the holy trinity of flavor here and the base for most puerto rican dishes! it's got green bell pepper, cilantro (or culantro if you can find it!), onion, and then you'll add tomato sauce and SAY HELLO TO DELICIOUSNESS.⠀
⠀
• homemade adobo & sazon seasonings: TONS of flavorful spices in here. we're using homemade blends instead of store-bought in this recipe.⠀
⠀
• green pigeon peas: my fav! I use goya (find it in the hispanic section, at your local hispanic grocer, or on amazon) or frozen peas are a good sub!⠀
⠀
hope you guys love this one. recipe's linked in my bio. tag me if you make it. my mama would be SO HAPPY 🤗⠀
