Arroz Con Pollo
There has been much debate regarding its real origin, but one thing we can all agree on: this is a very sumptuous classic dish!
Hailing from Latin America and Spain, this traditional dish is a favourite comfort food choice in different places around the world. Although there had been a lot of variations of the original recipe, it remains an important dish in Spanish and Puerto Rican culture.
