some weeks back, I found a recipe for puerto rican arroz con pollo in one of the cookbooks I uh. "rescued" from the library's weeding.

this is not that recipe. that recipe scared me.

instead, it's from budget bytes, and look. I don't like cilantro. I don't have the "tastes like soap" problem, I just don't like its flavor of sharp woodsy clean. (fwiw I also don't like mint or peppermint). but it's the first time I'm making this, so fuck it. I'll make the sofrito as instructed too. I'll follow the instructions*

okay yeah. this slaps. I'm so excited to eat this for the next day or two. thank you budget bytes ilu
