Arroz Brasileiro Rice With Tomatoes And Onions - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cups long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, heated to the boil
3 cups water, heated to the boil
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
Preparation
-
In a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil for about a minute, tipping the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Add the onion and saute, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and transparent, but not yet brown.
Pour in the rice and stir for about 3 minutes, until all the grains are coated with the oil. (Do not let the rice brown.).
Add the boiling chicken stock and water to the rice. Add the tomatoes, curry powder, pepper and salt, and return the mixture to the boil, making sure to stir occasionally. Cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook for 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
Serve warm.
