Brazilian White Rice

“White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky.”

I make this pretty much exactly as is, but I don't add any salt. I make 4 portions, and my husband and I eat it ALL. It is my favourite new side dish. I use a heaping teaspoon of chicken flavour Better than Bouillion stock paste mixed into the hot water. Tonight's version smells like the best yet! It is nicely golden brown and delicious!

So easy and delicious. I did half water and half chicken broth but followed the recipe otherwise, and it turned out great! Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe. There are so many ways to make it your own.

Everyone loved this dish. I served it with Tilapia Scampi (from this site). Both were excellent!

great way to spruce up plain white rice and i'll definitely use this recipe from now on; i would give it 5 stars but it really wasn't amazingly flavourful....just nice...might add some veg or something next time?

It's easy and adds a bit more flavor to otherwise plain rice. Works well under a stir fry or just as a side.

I had fun making this and thought that it was pretty good. I thought it had nice flavor, but some people thought it tasted pretty much like regular rice. A bit of a waste of effort for regular rice, but I thought it was a nice change.

I will never make rice any other way again! The only substition I made was I used olive oil instead of vegetable (it's all I had). It was easy and delicious (:

I used one and a half cups of rice and three cups of water but left the other ingredients the same. It was delicious! Its a million times better than the instant rice while being just as simple to make! Definately a keeper recipe :)
