    Heart of Palm (palmito) is a vegetable harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees. This ingredient is very popular in the Amazonas department of Colombia. In the United States canned hearts of palm are packed in water and can be found in gourmet markets and many large supermarkets. This Arroz con Palmitos would be a great side to chicken, beef or fish, or you could serve as a vegetarian main dish as well.

    Buen provecho!

      Great side dish and the hearts of palm would help to get a tropical feel with cold autumn air coming in. Like the cumin spice here too.
