Arroz Valenciana

Arroz Valenciana is a dish similar to Paella. The Filipino version of this dish makes use of coconut milk,
malagkit (glutinous or sweet rice), boiled eggs, and chorizo, which is what this recipe is all about.

Arroz Valenciana is served during holidays and special occasions. Since it is only a few days before
Christmas, I am featuring this dish so that you can have more options for your family’s Noche Buena or
Christmas parties. This is also a perfect dish to serve during New Year’s eve dinner.
