Arroz Valenciana

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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.

    Hello Vanjo! I used to prepare my family’s Noche Buena back in the Phils. It’s been years since I did as we always joined friends’ Christmas parties. This COVID year gave me time to prepare a small Noche Buena at home.

    Thank you for this delicious Valenciana recipe! OMGosh it’s so good! I followed the recipe to the T! It took a loooong time to cook (rice & malagkit) -- and seasoned friends were giving me their “short-cut” tips with the rice part (pre-cook). But I think your (traditional) way is way much, much better!

    This recipe is a 5-star for me! This was a nice “come-back” for me. Thanks so much!
    Oh! I also prepared your Macaroni Sopas -- which was equally delicious & filling!!! I had to “make space” for the Valenciana!

    I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family!

    iba ata ang style ng pag-luto mo..
    pero alam q masarap din..nilagay q din ang tomatoe..pro ang pag luto q sa malagkit na rice ay niluto q sa rice cooker with turmeric powder.. Sobrang sarap kahit sa amoy palang. Lasang pinoy na pinoy! Hehe..
