Arroz con pollo is one of THE defining dishes of Latino cuisine. And the dish that inspired us to launch Familia Kitchen. Arroz con pollo is the kind of meal that transports so many of us back to our childhoods in Spanish-speaking places. While they all have most ingredients in common, recipes for this Latino staple can vary a lot. (For example, typically Cubans add beer, Puerto Ricans use achiote oil, Dominicans stir in soy sauce to their versions). That got us wondering. Which Latino locale do YOU think makes the best arroz con pollo?
We asked 3 of our favorite Latina cooks: Patty Morrell-Ruiz of The Mad Table (Cuban), Belqui Ortiz-Millili of Belqui’s Twist (Dominican), and Michelle Ezratty Murphy of Bowl & Apron (Puerto Rican family heritage) to have a chicken-and-rice food fight. Here’s how it works: Each cook is making her famous arroz con pollo and show us how it’s done, step by step, in their video. Check out all three and then vote below for your favorite! The winner will be the newly crowned champion of our first-ever Familia Kitchen Battle of the Arroz con Pollos.
And the winner is … FELICIDADES to Patty Morrell-Ruiz and all of Cuba: Patty’s Cuban pollo a la chorrera was voted the winner of Familia Kitchen’s arroz con pollo battle! Watch her making her famous dish below and let us know how it tastes when you try it at home. ❤️
