Arroz a La Valenciana Guatemalan Recipe

---

Rice is one of the most important ingredients in Guatemalan cuisine lunches. And this is the key ingredient for this recipe Valenciana Rice Recipe, a recipe of Spanish origin, but which has been transformed over the years to have a Guatemalan twist.

Rice is a very versatile ingredient and many very traditional Guatemalan recipes can be made with it. But it is important that you take into account that for this recipe, I use "yellow rice" or also known as "precooked rice". Arroz a la Valenciana is a version of Paella, but without seafood. You can add the ingredients that you prefer to add your personal touch if you wish. Now, if you prefer vegetarian food you can add mushrooms, chickpeas or eggplant instead of meat for this recipe.
