Kind of a dish for poor people. Makes maximum use of the available supplies.
Boil a whole chicken in a stock pot until it starts to fall apart. Pull all the bones out, shreding the meat. Add the vegtables, including celery and carrots and onion. Season with salt and pepper and allspice. It makes a soup you ladle over the rice.
I have been known to smoke a whole chicken. We would eat half, then use the remaining half for the Arroz.
Me Ma lived in a small Kansas town and had a Cuban neighbor. He had been studying in the States when Castro took control and stayed here. He had helped me study Spanish in high school.
He taught us to make the Cuban version of Arroz con Pollo. It is very much different from what you find in a Mexican restaurant. Im still looking for something to compare.
