Arroz Con "Papa"




Yesterday my dad and I made a delicious meal called Arroz Con Pollo. It is a Spanish dish that means rice with chicken. My dad is from Peru and I am part Peruvian. He wanted to teach me how to make it because it was one of his favorite dishes from when he was a kid. But I also wanted to lear it.

This is what is in it: chicken, rice, peas, tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro, and chicken stock.

This is how we made it. One. We blended a chicken stock and cilantro to make a paste.
Second. We deep fried the chicken in a skillet. When it was done we put it on a plate to cool off.
Third. We stir fried tomatoes, garlic, and onion in a pot.
Fourth. We added rice, chopped carrots, and the cilantro paste.
Fifth. We let it cook for 25-30 minutes covered with a lid.
Sixth. We put it on a plate with the chicken.

It was one of the best rice dishes I have ever tasted.I felt like the food was doing the tango when I ate it.
