Brazilian Rice Recipe

Step 1

In a medium sauce pan, heat up the oil

Step 2

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and light gold

Step 3

Add the rice, season with the salt and stir for about a minute

Step 4

Add the liquid and bring to a gentle boil

Step 5

Reduce to a simmer, cover and let it simmer until all water has been absorbed (try not to peak – we don’t want to lose steam that’s precious for the next step!)

Step 6

Turn off the heat and let the rice pot sit covered for another 10 mins – steam

Step 7

Open the pot, then "air" the rice for a minute or two. Then, fluff with a fork, and serve!
