Erica,
This is a great tasting rice dish. Thank you!
This looks SO GOOD. I am going to try it as soon as I can get to the supermarket to get Coke. I bet it’s good with vegetable bullion cube too (instead of chicken). This is site is incredible, I can’t believe how much work you’ve done already. Great pictures too…

I made this rice dish for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it and it was perfect with the turkey. It was sweet and delicious. This is the best Colombian food site. Thanks!
I remember eating this when I lived in Colombia. I thought it was the strangest combination, but it was always delicious! Thanks for posting this! What fond memories!
Gracias por difundir nuestra comida. Es chistoso fomo para algunas personas es tan raro y aun lo cocinan. Por mi parte, ya habia pensado hacer este arroz “exotico” para compartir en Navidad con la familia de mi esposo y con mis papas que vienen de visita desde Colombia. Dios te bendiga y a tu familia.
Thank you so much for this recipe! My boyfriend is Colombian and this is one of his favorite recipes that i have heard so much about but never tasted! I will definitely be making this tomorrow
This is the best rice!!! Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
On this coke and rice recipe, is it 1 and one half cups coke, or just one half cup coke? Thanks.
1 and 1/2 cups.
sorry to bother you but one cup of water and one and a half cups of coke seem,s like a lot of liquid.is this right?
Peter- I use 2/1/2 cups of liquid, but if you want your rice drier, use less liquid about 2 cups.
when you add the rice, does it have to be cooked rice or just the dry rice that isnt cooked yet.?
Rebecca- Uncooked rice.
Erica,
Once again, going through your recipes is like going through my mom’s kitchen. She used to cook this rice in special ocassions and we loved it. She also added raisins because we loved the sweet taste combined with whatever main dish she was serving (usually pernil asado). Thank you for posting this recipe!
Wow… I thought this was a joke post… Rice and Coca Cola?? I’ve heard of meat being barbequed with Cola.. But rice… I don’t know…Maybe I will have to use this recipe in the summer with bbq pork chops!
