Very tasty Puerto Rican rice and beans recipe. Thanks Anita for the recipe! My kids LOVE the crust and fight over it. Great with hot sauce. You can also add leftover chicken. It's a very forgiving recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound pork roast, diced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (15 ounce) can gandules (pigeon peas), drained (such as Goya®)
