Arroz con Leche con Dulce de Garbanzos

In Oaxaca, arroz con leche is traditionally served with candied garbanzos because we are extra like that. This combination sounds weird, but it’s actually very good. Think of it as the Oaxacan version of those sweet red bean desserts in Japan. The candied garbanzos have a similar texture to candied sweet potatoes and add a nice layer of caramel flavor into the milky spiced rice.
