    Arroz con Coca-Cola y Pasas (Rice with Cola and Raisins) |mycolombianrecipes.comPin

    I posted a rice with cola recipe when I started this blog, as this is one of my favorite side dishes for entertaining. One of my aunts always made this rice for our family parties and I loved it. My husband is not a big fan of raisins and that is why I always made it without the raisins, but yesterday I made it for lunch and I decided to add the raisins...he didn’t complain 🙂 This Rice with Coca- Cola and Raisins (Arroz con Coca- Cola y Pasas) with It is sweet and sticky and delicious.

    Try it.

      This sounds like a fun recipe. I bet it would be sticky and delicious. Coke is used in so many recipes and desserts. Looks so pretty.

      I have never tried rice cooked with cola before, but I am looking forward to doing so! We adore rice, and new ways of preparing it are fun to try. Thanks!

      I don't drink soda and, yet, I'm really intrigued by this recipe. Though it has the sweet elements in it, you called it a side dish and "I get it". I think it would be great next to ham or pork.

      This is one interesting recipe! I have heard things baked with soda, but never heard of being used in cooking this way. Very curious to know what kind of taste it imparts.

      When my husband first told me about this rice, I thought he was joking!! I am Canadian born from a French Canadian dad and 2nd generation Italian mom, I have never cooked using soft drinks!! Again with your help Erica all these wonderful traditional Colombian dishes are now available with one click. So, I decided tonight I would make this side dish to accompany our steaks, wish me luck!

      You know what's funny this is what I call the arroz con coco cause on top of the raisins and coco cola we also use coconut milk my grandma who is from Barranquilla makes it for the holidays it goes good with turkey I know a lot of different variations on this recipe..and although I don't really like raisins this is so good that I eat it with the raisins

      Erica,
      Thank you!!!

      I am originally from Colombia. I can't remember the last time that I ate arroz con Coca-cola. I have three kids and we don't drink sodas, but when I mentioned to them this rice they keep asking for it. Well, here I am trying your recipe. I am sure it will be delicious like your pandebonos that I made recently for friends and family.

      I 've tried this in Colombia but found that it too sweet for my taste. Others may enjoy though.
