    10 Rice Side Dishes |mycolombianrecipes.comPin

    Rice is a staple in Colombian cuisine and my family was no exception. We ate white rice as a side dish with almost everything. But as much as I love a steaming pot of freshly cooked white rice, I love making variations of rice side dishes that include other ingredients as well. Here are 10 rice side dishes from the blog.

    Buen provecho!

      Erica,
      The link for the rice with caramelized onions is not working. Could you please fix it? Can't wait to see this recipe. Thanks!

      Estoy visitando Cali y fui a un restaurante que me sirvieron un arroz con coco caramelizado con panela. Ese arroz me lo sirvieron con un sudado de mariscos.
      That was super delicious!!!! Y quiero aprender a hacerlo. Alguien sabe cómo hacerlo. Mlores15@ aol.com
