Arroz Valenciana Popular Ingredients
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups short grain sweet rice, rinsed 3 times
- 3 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 4 links Chinese sausage (lap xuong), sliced on the bias in 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 large carrot, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- One 10-ounce bag frozen peas
- 2 to 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced into quarters lengthwise
- 2 to 3 scallions, greens only, thinly sliced
Steps for making Arroz Valenciana
- Dissolve the bouillon cube in 2 cups of hot water in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. dd the onions and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the onions start to become translucent, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until the chicken is opaque but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and turmeric and stir until the turmeric is evenly distributed. Add the sausage, raisins, coconut milk and bouillon broth and stir for 1 minute. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes.
- Add the red and green bell peppers, carrots and peas and gently stir. Continue to cook the rice covered until the vegetables are slightly softened and there is no more liquid, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with the hard-boiled eggs and scallions.

- Gluten Free – A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a nutritional plan that strictly excludes gluten, which is a mixture of proteins found in wheat (and all of its species and hybrids, such as spelt, kamut, and triticale), as well as barley, rye, and oats. The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial, and may depend on the oat cultivar and the frequent cross-contamination with other gluten-containing cereals.Gluten may cause both gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms for those with gluten-related disorders, including coeliac disease (CD), non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), gluten ataxia, dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), and wheat allergy. In these people, the gluten-free diet is demonstrated as an effective treatment, but several studies show that about 79% of the people with coeliac disease have an incomplete recovery of the small bowel, despite a strict gluten-free diet. This is mainly caused by inadvertent ingestion of gluten. People with a poor understanding of a gluten-free diet often believe that they are strictly following the diet, but are making regular errors.In addition, a gluten-free diet may, in at least some cases, improve gastrointestinal or systemic symptoms in diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or HIV enteropathy, among others. There is no good evidence that gluten-free diets are an alternative medical treatment for people with autism.Gluten proteins have low nutritional and biological value and the grains that contain gluten are not essential in the human diet. However, an unbalanced selection of food and an incorrect choice of gluten-free replacement products may lead to nutritional deficiencies. Replacing flour from wheat or other gluten-containing cereals with gluten-free flours in commercial products may lead to a lower intake of important nutrients, such as iron and B vitamins. Some gluten-free commercial replacement products are not enriched or fortified as their gluten-containing counterparts, and often have greater lipid/carbohydrate content. Children especially often over-consume these products, such as snacks and biscuits. Nutritional complications can be prevented by a correct dietary education.A gluten-free diet may be based on gluten-free foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products, legumes, nuts, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice, and corn. Gluten-free processed foods may be used. Pseudocereals (quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat) and some minor cereals are alternative choices.
