Caribbean Rice with Beans
If I could eat rice every day I would probably do it. There are so many ways to cook rice and make the same grain get different flavors. This rice has my favorite ingredients: coconut milk, tomato sauce, and bacon. Yep, all good ingredients in one pot!
When I cook rice with coconut milk, I can help thinking on the typical food that is serve in the north coast of Colombia. Growing up in the interior of the country, I always thought that coconut recipes and fish was something exclusive for when you have a beach vacation.
It is summer and we are still practicing social distancing…. so let’s bring our party, beach, and vacation to our table with this delicious Caribbean rice!
