    I can't believe we're already halfway through August. This summer has seriously flown by! We had a wonderful summer vacation and now we're getting ready for school. I hope you enjoyed the warm weather and had a great summer as well!

    Today, I want to introduce to you another Colombian recipe from the department of El Chocó, located in the Pacific region of the country and the only department bordering both the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans.

    Arroz Atollado con Carne Ahumada is made with a combination of rice, onions, tomato, smoked beef, dried beef, spices and cheese, and served with ripe plantains and avocado on the side. I just love it! A simple rice dish with a lot of tradition, and of course, lots of Colombian flavor.

    We have different variations of arroz atollado in Colombia. Some of them are Atollado de Cangrejo (crab rice), Atollado de Pato (duck rice), Atollado de Pollo y Chorizo (chicken and chorizo rice) Atollado del Valle (pork rice) and this Atollado con Carne Ahumada (rice with smoked Beef) recipe.

    Buen provecho!

      Hi Erica, from Spain
      For me, this looks too dry and lifeless. The Atollado de Pollo y Chorizo has more life and looks more promising.
