Every family has their recipe’s that have been passed down. One that everyone fights over the last bite during a big meal. This recipe is that dish. My mother in law makes the best Puerto Rican rice, no matter how many times I have tried to replicate it. It’s fluffy, so much flavor and filled with “love”, as she says. There are so many different versions of this on All Recipes, but I think this is the best one (ok, maybe I am bias, ha!)
When I first started dating my husband, I have never had it and now, I don’t think I could live without it during our family gatherings. It’s that good. Although, it has never been written down, this past weekend, I was finally able to get an approximation of what makes it so good. Honestly eggs and this rice are my go-to on the weekends when Manny makes it!
This pot is our favorite to cook it in. We had it before we were even engaged 10 plus years ago. Definitely worth the investment! And they often go on sale at Macy’s, so I would look out for that!
If you make it, I’d love to see it! It’s such dish that is near and dear to me. Enjoy!
Hopefully you love as much as I do!

Are the pigeon peas drained?
Yup!
How much does 1 cup feed? Can you double the ingredients
Hi! Serves roughly 2-3 adults. And yes you can double it, but then double the water. ie- 2 cups rice, 4 cups water. etc.
