About Arroz Kesu

Camila Benitez presents arroz kesú as a Paraguayan rice-and-cheese dish. This named version uses jasmine rice and selects queso Paraguay, which she identifies as the traditional cheese.

Milk, butter and fresh cheese give the rice its rich dairy character. Salt and pepper complete the seasoning, while onion and garlic remain optional aromatics in the published card.

The rice has a creamy, slightly loose consistency rather than a dry, fluffy finish. Melted cheese joins the milk around the tender grains, and the recipe presents the dish hot.
