Recipe Information
Cauliflower Moro de Gandules
Cultural Context
Originating from Puerto Rico, Moro de Gandules is a traditional dish that combines rice with pigeon peas, often served during festive occasions. The addition of cauliflower offers a nutritious twist while maintaining the dish's hearty essence. This adaptation reflects the island's culinary creativity and the growing popularity of plant-based ingredients in modern diets.
gandules
🥗Healthier: black beans
💰Cheaper: pinto beans
Black beans provide similar protein content while being more accessible.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: canola oil
Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.
Rice the cauliflower in batches using a food processor, pulsing for 2-5 seconds until the desired size is achieved.
Set the flame to medium and add olive oil to a large pot.
Sauté chopped onions, green bell peppers, celery, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the vegetables are translucent.
Add gandules and Dominican oregano to the pot and sauté for about two minutes.
Stir in tomato paste and mix until fully dissolved, about one to two minutes.
Add water to the pot, adjusting the amount based on the amount of cauliflower rice used.
Add the riced cauliflower to the pot, ensuring it is well coated with the sauce.
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
