Frequently Asked Questions
What is Risotto de Gandules?
Risotto de Gandules is a Puerto Rican-inspired creamy risotto made with pigeon peas (gandules), sofrito, and aromatic spices. It brings Caribbean warmth and flavor to the dish.
What is Bartlett pear risotto?
Our Bartlett Pear Risotto features creamy Arborio rice with caramelized Bartlett pears, creating a sweet-savory side that pairs beautifully with the herbaceous lamb chops.
Which is better for someone who doesn't eat beef?
Both are excellent non-beef options. Lamb has a distinctive, slightly gamey flavor that many diners love. Pork is milder and more familiar. If you prefer richer flavors, go with lamb. If you want something milder and larger, choose the pork.
