Less than three weeks to Christmas! Can you believe it? It seems just yesterday when 2019 rolled in, and we are now in the last month of the year. Ugh, time, you move too fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am knee-deep, working on new recipes for this season's festivities. I already have quite a few ready to go, and I am rushing to get them up on the blog in the next few days, so you'll have plenty of time to plan your Noche Buena menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with this Arroz Valenciana, we have, so far, ube biko<\/a>, special mini sapin-sapin<\/a>, and lechon manok<\/a> already posted. I hope you check back here daily and find something tasty to make for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Arroz Valenciana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arroz a la Valenciana is another example of Spanish influence in Philippine culture. Brought to our shores by three centuries-long colonization and adapted to fit indigenous ingredients, this one-pan rice dish is made with parts glutinous and long-grain rice, coconut milk, chicken, chorizo de bilbao, and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although traditionally served during Christmas, fiestas, and other special occasions, it's easy enough to prepare for everyday dinner meals. As with most dishes, modes of preparation and ingredients may vary from one cook to another, from one region to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
