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.

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

What a delicious recipe. I made it for a dinner party last week and served it with scallops and it was a hit, every person asked for the recipe.

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.

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

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!
