Categories Rice

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups rice
3 cups hot chicken broth (to make this vegetarian or vegan I use 3 cups hot water and 3 full tsp of Mckays Vegan Chicken seaso)
10 ounces Italian plum tomatoes, canned drained and chopped
salt, to taste
cilantro, to garnish
tomatoes, wedges to garnish

Steps:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and saute until transparent.
Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until grains are coated with oil and rice is hot (about 3 minutes).
Add broth, tomatoes, and salt, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to very low. Cover and cook until done, about 20 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro and tomatoes.

Tips:

Use high-quality rice: Choose a medium-grain rice, such as jasmine or basmati, for the best results. Medium-grain rice is more absorbent and will cook up fluffy and tender.
Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice helps to remove starch and impurities, which can make the rice gummy. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water for 1-2 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
Use the right amount of water: The general rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of water for every ½ cup of rice. However, this can vary depending on the type of rice and the desired consistency. For Brazilian-style rice, you will need slightly less water than usual, as the rice is cooked in a covered pot.
Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat allows it to cook evenly and prevents it from burning. Bring the rice and water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and become even more fluffy.

Conclusion:

Brazilian-style rice is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. By following the tips above, you can make perfect Brazilian-style rice every time. Enjoy!
