One of the most authentic Christmas gastronomic traditions is Sant Esteve rice, an ideal dish for December 26, when you want to continue the celebrations with a tasty meal that uses ingredients from the previous day.
This rice combines leftover roasted chicken or turkey, Christmas stock and vegetables, all fused with Montsià Bomba rice that absorbs every drop of flavour. It is a clear example of a kitchen that uses up leftovers with style and taste, a dish that speaks of sustainability and using each ingredient with love.

We cannot close a Christmas meal without a touch of sweetness! Rice with milk is that simple but eternally beloved dessert that closes any lunch or dinner with the family. It is a dish that, perhaps, we have all enjoyed at least once in our lives.
The traditional version that Arròs Montsià offers is a delicious classic: creamy, sweet and scented with cinnamon or lemon peel.

This dish is not strictly Christmas, but it fits perfectly on a festive table as a second course or healthy and sophisticated starter. The combination of roasted eggplant, Montsià Extra rice and golden chicken creates an explosion of textures and tender and balanced flavors.
It is ideal for those holidays when you want to balance the most powerful dishes and offer something light but not boring. Perfect to share with everyone before the main course.

To finish our selection, we propose a touch of Italian inspiration, with this artichoke risotto that uses Montsià Carnaroli rice, specially designed for a creamy and silky texture. The artichokes, so typical of Mediterranean cuisine, provide a soft, warm and elegant touch that combines very well with the holiday and the Christmas spirit.
This risotto can work both as a main course for lovers of the most refined cuisine and as a gourmet extra within a memorable Christmas menu.

These recipes with Montsià rice are much more than dishes: they are stories that we share at the table.

The Christmas holidays are an opportunity to celebrate food, the excellence of the ingredients and the warmth of the company. And if we do it with a rice that represents the land and sea of ​​the Delta, the result is, without a doubt, a table that we will always remember.
