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!

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
