Brazilian Rice (With onions & Garlic)
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1/2 Medium Onion
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 2 Teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Long Grain White Rice (I used Jasmine because I like it better), uncooked
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Cups Water
Instructions
- Dice the onion and garlic.
- Preheat a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, onions, and garlic. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is glistening and starting to soften.
- Stir in the rice and let it absorb the flavors from the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
- Add the water and salt. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, stir again, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover, and let it cook for 20 minutes (until the rice is tender).
- After 20 minutes, turn off the heat but keep the pot covered for another 5-10 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
