High Protein Rice: 17g of Protein in Your Everyday Side

Rinse the rice and lentils together in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear. This step matters for texture.

Heat your caldero or heavy pot over medium heat. Add sofrito and bloom for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the rinsed rice and lentils. Stir to coat in the sofrito for 1 minute.

Pour in the bone broth. Stir in the collagen peptides until fully dissolved. Add salt and Dominican oregano.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes without lifting the lid.

Remove from heat. Sprinkle frozen peas across the top, replace the lid, and let rest 5 minutes off the burner.

Fluff with a fork. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
