Meaty Arroz Con Gandules image

This is a direct copy of the recipe on the can of Goya Green Pigeon Peas aka Gandules Verde and it is so delicious!! I usually use 1/2 cup of the ham because it is slightly healthier, but have also used smoked turkey breast.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, so I omitted them from this recipe. It was still delicious!
