I love rice and I enjoy trying new ways of preparing it. This recipe takes me back to when I used to live with my best friend from Colombia. She introduced me to plantains and a different style of rice than what I had eaten my whole life, which was pilaf. The Colombian way of making rice requires a lot of butter or oil (depending on preference), and that gives the rice great depth of flavor. Some people might say that its not healthy, but I don't think that’s true; it all depends on what you serve with your rice.
This recipe is 100% Colombian and is absolutely delicious. The caramelized ripe plantain with the buttery rice makes this side dish unforgettable. Simple ingredients and an easy recipe are all you need to impress your friends and family.
