This rice is a very simple Colombian recipe to which some of my fondest memories are attached, as it was one of my grandmother’s favorite lunch dishes. She would eat it with a banana and red tomato on the side, just like in the picture. We Colombians love to eat bananas with soups and believe it or not, it is quite delicious. The consistency of this rice should be between rice and a soup, hence the name.

Our culinary is very similar ( Colombian / Brazilian ) and I also love to have this dish the same way but I add a chilli pepper on the side ... I love peppers !!! 😀

This is a very new combination for me, banana and rice together. We too, have some dishes with sliced tomatoes, but we have banana or any other vegetable after the meal. As I'm getting closer to Colombian cuisine with your fantastic looking dishes, I'm so much intrigued now.

I love this post with the story about your grandma. The tip about the banana is an interesting one that I'll have to try. I've never heard of powdered beef before, but everything looks so colorful and pretty.

What a beautiful lunch, I'm sure your grandmother was also an amazing cook. I have to tell you, I've been getting most of my new lunch ideas from you. Thank you!! Much healthier and the kids and I really like them!

I, too, was not familiar with 'powdered' beef so I followed the link and looked at the recipe, which looks very flavorful and delicious. I think it perhaps loses something the translation. Powdered to English-first readers implies dry, powdery, not tasty...your recipe is definitely not any of those things!
