Guandules and moro de guandules
Serving suggestions
As pictured, for dinner, I love longaniza guisada with Mangú, our popular mashed plantain dish. You can also serve it with Boiled yuca, Puré de auyama (pumpkin mash), or Puré de yautía.
For lunch this can make a great meat dish to serve with Arroz blanco (white rice) and Habichuelas guisadas (stewed beans), or Moro de guandules or any of our Moro rice recipes. And don't forget a simple Dominican salad.
For something simpler, serve with some crispy Tostones (twice-fried plantains) and a few slices of avocado on the side.
