About Arroz con Guandu

Nadja Belgrave presents arroz con guandú y coco as part of Panama’s holiday table. This named coconut version selects fresh purple guandú and keeps the onion, garlic, sweet pepper and culantro sofrito.

Coconut milk gives the rice its rich flavour, with salt and black pepper completing the seasoning. Culantro and the aromatic vegetables add their distinct notes beside the peas.

The bowl combines rice grains with tender guandú that retain their shape. Turkey is the selected optional companion from the author’s serving suggestions for this rice.
