    This rice with carrots is an easy, colorful and flavorful rice dish. The perfect side dish to any meal!

    Arroz con ZanahoriaPin

    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.

    I particularly like to pair this rice with carrots with a simple fried egg, roasted chicken legs, breaded chicken breast, whole fried fish and stuffed meatloaf.

    What do you need this make this rice

    This rice recipe is made with long grain white rice, grated carrots, vegetable oil, and vegetable broth for extra flavor. You can substitute the vegetable broth for chicken broth if you prefer.

    Store this rice with carrots in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat the rice, I like to sprinkle a little water over top to keep it moist and heat in the microwave or place it in a saucepan on the stove.

      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
