    Arroz AntioquenoPin

    This is a delicious rice dish from my hometown of Antioquia that includes all of the traditional ingredients from that region of the country… beans, chorizo, corn, avocado and plantains.

    If you don’t live in the country where you were born and raised, one of the things that can really bring you back home are the smells of your favorite foods and this is one of those recipes that I cook and just have to think about Colombia.

      I agree that food and its smell is the best way to remember your home country. That rice would really bring back memories, and is making me want to visit Colombia even more 😀

      It's true - food is great when you're even the slightest bit homesick. And I love that you can share this part of home with new friends wherever you are.

      looks really good and i'm bummed that I can't find that kind of chorizo (i looked for it not that long ago). All I kind find around here is the mexican chorizo, which is soft and mushy and doesn't slice...it crumbles.

      You are absolutely right! The familiar smells of your hometown food never leave you. In new places, you discover new comforting smells too.
      As always, your dish looks fabulous. I love chorizo and will use it whenever possible.

      What is not to love about this dish, it has everything. Ah, when I get back, I sense a lot of Columbian cooking coming on, may have to do a blog or two on it. Could you help?

      Ok so I totally cheated on this one 🙂 I did make it--only I used turkey bacon, and turkey smoked sausage. I have to b/c my husband has high blood pressure and cholesterol and we are altering the way we cook! For the chicken stock I used the Goya packets, chicken and tomato bouillon, and instead of salt and pepper I sprinkled a little Goya with pepper in with the tomato mixture. I didn't have any ripe plantains on hand, so next time I'll have to use them--I'm sure it completes the dish! I also didn't put any bell peppers in it, just because I don't care too much for them. It turned out wonderful! 🙂

      Hi Erica! I live in Barranquilla, Colombia and enjoy your website very much. Another Colombian addition could be sauteeing the chorizo and bacon in some annato oil (aceite achiotado) or add some "Color" (ground annato seeds). The vegetables should be sauteed in the colored oil as well. Just an idea...
      Otra sugerencia colombiana seria sofreir las carnes y verduras en aceite achiotado o con Color para darle ese amarillito de fondo tipico de nuestros arroces compuestos. Saludos.

      Hello Erica! I just made this recipe, and I was wondering is the rice supposed to be sticky?

      Ever since last year I have been making this recipe. I have a Colombian husband and he has Colombian friends and they are all impressed that a "gringa" makes this rice. I really appreciate your blog and this recipe is a total hit. I have been asked to make it for Thanksgiving 2014. Thanks again for helping make our holidays special.
