Rice is a Colombian and Latin cuisine side dish staple, and it is hard to imagine a meal without a rice dish. Some Colombian people eat rice with beans for breakfast. One of my favorite ways to make rice is to cook it with vegetables. This Rice with Carrots (Arroz con Zanahoria) is very easy to make and popular in Colombian homes.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
(4 servings)
- 2 cups long grain white rice
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated carrots
Directions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly by placing it into a strainer and running cool water over it.
- Place the rice in a medium saucepan; then add the vegetable stock, oil, carrots and salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir once and cover, reduce to low heat and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the stove and let it sit for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice using a fork and serve immediately.

I think that this recipe is fast and easy plus great for any occasion. My 14 year old daughter made this for us last night, with very little assistance from my husband & it was delicious.

I made this because all I had was rice and carrots in my house. Delicious! I added a splash of white wine and a tablespoon of garlic powder
