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 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.

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.
