Arroz con Pollo

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
I love cookbooks with contributions from different chefs. It adds variety to the cookbook and recipes within it. I always end up having such trouble choosing what recipe to make from a collaborative cookbook because each and every recipe sounds so tasty! Although one recipe in this specific cookbook did stand out to me: Arroz con Pollo.
Arroz con Pollo
Forty world class chefs have collaborated on a new cookbook, UNICHEF, to benefit the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, the Children’s Rights and Emergency Relief Organization. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in 190 countries and territories worldwide to save and improve children’s lives by providing health care and immunizations, clean water, sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief, and more.

Each chef complements their recipe contribution with accompanying text sharing his or her personal relationship to food in formative years and the genesis of their life’s work. This cookbook contains recipes and stories from Marcus Samuelsson, Wolfgang Puck, Cat Cora, Jamie Oliver, Mario Batali, Michael Solomonov, and many others.

The author, Hilary Gumbel, is donating 100% of her royalties directly to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, which means each purchase of this cookbook directly benefits the fund. To help spread the word, I wanted to share a recipe from the cookbook to give you a peek into the amazing recipes that are within.

Arroz con Pollo
This recipe, contributed by Chef Ingrid Hoffmann, is a great Sunday meal. It takes a bit of time but makes a ton of food and has really amazing flavor. I adapted the recipe slightly but it’s mostly intact.

I love all of the vegetables in this recipe. Each brings its own flavor that makes for a really balanced dish!

This recipe also reheats well, so we will be able to enjoy it for lunch later in the week!
