Arroz con gandules, widely regarded as "Puerto Rico's national dish" [1] [2] [3] Puerto Rican cuisine consists of the cooking style and traditional dishes original to Puerto Rico. It has been primarily a fusion influenced by the ancestors of the Puerto Rican people: the indigenous Taínos, Spanish Criollos and sub-Saharan African slaves.
In Puerto Rican cuisine the dish is called hayaca and used to be a popular part of the island's cuisine. Unlike the Venezuelan variety, hayaca s from Puerto Rico are made not with maize but with cassava , stock, milk, pork fat cooked with annatto, and banana leaf, and baked in traditional open-wood-fire.
