And the sticky rice is pre-cooked with coconut milk. And we also have shelled tahong, shrimps/prawn, squid, pork liver sauteed in. I remember the carrots, bell peppers, peas but not the potatoes. My aunt used to cook this for special occasions and to this day, I've never had a better-tasting arroz valenciana! Definitely raisins included. And the sticky rice is pre-cooked with coconut milk.

My Lola always cook this for special occassion and always put raisins on it which taste good too. I think there's quite a few variations on how people cook this. Some include coconut milk as well. Happy eating! Darlene’s right it has raisins. My Lola always cook this for special occassion and always put raisins on it which taste good too.

Then I saw your A La Espanyola entry and a link to this. Thanks a lot for this recipe! I very much love this dish which I only had during some parties when I was in PI.

I may be wrong but I think there were definitely raisins. Maybe it was based on region and the specific ingredients in it. Unfortunately, I never did try Valenciana as a youth growing up.
