I learned to prepare this rice from my in-law’s sister who is from Guatemala. It is served with black beans, salsa, corn tortillas, and nearly any other dish in Guatemala.

Love it!
Great recipe!! Thank you 🙂
I just made this rice for the first time. We very much liked the taste. I read previous reviews and I saw the one where someone added paprika which I did consider adding however I thought I would use black pepper I instead ( in error I used the wrong end of the pepper shaker and had a fair bit more then I would have liked and managed to remove most of it). It turned out really good and I also added 1 clove of minced garlic. I will definitely make this again.
Delicious
Sometimes it’s nice to have a subtle side dish. This has a lovely flavor and complimented my grilled pork perfectly.
Great simple rice recipe. Wife loved it. I add a little extra salt because that’s how I roll. I will make this again soon.
its amazing its soo good me and my children loved it.
I made a few changes. I used aminos rather than soy and when I ran low on that we used sesame oil.
I added sweet corn and spinach to make it more colorful. Also I had used paprika to give it a spicy texture since my family doesn’t like bland food. It turned out wonderful and everyone loved it! Will definitely make it more often.
Love it. Found a new way and the ONLY way so far to make rice and have my three year old daughter eat it. A+++ to me
Used leeks (had to use them up) was still fantastic. Will be a staple in my kitchen. Also makes excellent fried rice with leftovers!
Pretty bland. I’d double everything but the rice if I were to make this again.
Simple and straight forward. I will add some herbs next time.
