Pigeon Peas and Rice has long been a traditional dish from the islands. It's the National dish of Puerto Rico (Arroz con Gandules with Sofrito), and is made in similar wise in St. Maarten, the Bahamas, Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. I've been cooking this dish with near perfection since 1996, and not to brag, but my version is better!!!
