About Arroz con Maiz

Arroz con maíz is an everyday Dominican rice side. Vanessa Mota’s version combines long-grain white rice and canned sweet corn, following the cooking style she describes from her childhood.

Sweet corn contrasts with the simply salted rice. This profile selects vegetable oil from the source’s oil-or-butter options; optional green onion gives a fresh onion note.

The grains are soft and fluffy, with tender yellow corn distributed throughout. The finished rice is served warm, with stewed meats or other dishes offered separately.
