I need a little help Spanish mamas! It’s my SO & I anniversary and want to try something new.…

you can make white rice without the red on it . do you have any bollin ?

You can make white rice with corn?

I was going to do the arroz con Gandules

@asandovaln,

@hazelmaplewood, so it’s no other way to make arroz con Gandules without those two lol and no not yet i wanted to find out before i started

But it’s not the same without the sofrito lol

@lex105, i literally just ran out because i made oxtails last week and i was rushing in the store and forgot i didn’t have anymore so lol idk what else to use to give it an extra flavor. I have everything else besides those two ingredients 😢

It's definitely not the same without the sofrito, but I have made it without before and nobody complained.

@emily526, the smell of sofrito alone is awesome so i know my rice is going to take a hit. I’m going to make a little today and see how it taste and then tomorrow I’ll run back to the store and do the real deal lol

@shababy Im hispanic and theres plenty of different ways to add flavor to it . like onions,garlic,salt chicken broth and you could use the spices from the soup maruchan just take those little packages out and use those .

@hazelmaplewood, yes!!! I have onions garlic and chicken broth and salt. Perfect! Thank you

@shababy you could add diced tomatoes too & your welcome (:

@shababy It's definitely not the same, but the white half of my family didn't notice at all 😂 it was the Puerto Rican half that knew something was up lmfao
