About Arroz con Palmito

Nati Herrera shares this Costa Rican arroz con palmito as a recipe from her mother, Nuria A. It is a family gathering dish in which hearts of palm and rice are combined with a creamy filling.

Ham, sweet corn and mushrooms join the hearts of palm in milk and cream. Onion and cilantro flavour the rice, while optional oregano adds another aromatic note to the filling.

The rice and filling are mixed in a baking dish and topped with mozzarella. A brief bake melts and lightly browns the cheese; a green salad is among the suggested accompaniments.
