ARROZ CON QUESO (RICE WITH CHEESE)
My friend Jolene gave me this one. I think she got it from "Diet for a Small Planet". It's one of those "keep all of the ingredients on hand for emergencies" recipes. When you burn something, quietly get of it and make this. No one will know. Prep. time doesn't include cooking the rice.

ARROZ CON QUESO - RICE WITH CHEESE (BOLIVIA)
I used this recipe for week 32 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Bolivia is my 32nd stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This Bolivian side dish is made with a fresh farmer's cheese; "kolla" (traditionally used) is saltier than queso fresco, so when making this be sure to taste and add salt according to your preferences.

Steps:
- Boil the water with the salt, then add the rice and keep boiling, uncovered, until almost all of the water has been absorbed or cooked off. The rice should still be pretty wet, but without pools of water and not fluffy.
- Meanwhile, saute the garlic and onions in a small amount of oil for four or five minutes. Take care not to let them brown.
- When the rice is nearly ready, bring the milk to a boil (warning, milk scalds easily so don't take your eyes off of it).
- Add the milk, cheese and onion/garlic mixture to the rice. Cook over low heat, stirring, until all the cheese has melted.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your arroz con queso will be. Use fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a good quality broth.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the rice will not cook evenly. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
- Stir the rice frequently: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and will also help to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Cook the rice until it is tender: The rice should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy.
- Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Arroz con queso is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its simple ingredients and flavorful taste, arroz con queso is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
