Arroz con coco y is also known as arroz con titoté and is a traditional recipe from the Caribbean region of Colombia. It is usually prepared with fresh coconut milk, but just to make it easier I used canned instead. Read more Titoté is the caramelized leavings created as a result of cooking coconut milk for about 30 minutes. I also used Panela in my recipe , you can use raw cane sugar. See less
