This congrí (rice and beans) recipe is perfect to stuff your Thanksgiving turkey and give it a different flavor. It’s very easy to make and the result is delicious. I added pieces of Spanish chorizo and ham to give a unique flavor to this stuffing that everyone will love and enjoy. Try this delicious Cuban recipe, this time with a Puertorican touch.
