Arroz Brasileiro Rice With Tomatoes And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• 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 sauté, 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.

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.

Steps:

• Open can of tomatoes and chicken broth and set aside. These ingredients have to be added quickly, so have them ready.
• Heat lard or shortening in a saucepan on medium-high. Add rice, stirring constantly. When rice is brown, immediately add the onion and garlic and stir so it is evenly mixed. Quickly add the 2 tomatoes (squish them with your hand). Add 1/4 cup of liquid from the can of tomatoes and 3/4 of the entire amount of chicken broth. Bring to a full boil, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until rice is tender and most of broth has evaporated, about 20 to 30 minutes. (The remaining broth can be added if rice is still a little hard) Remove rice from heat and leave covered until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the chicken stock, tomato paste, onion powder, coriander, cumin and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the garlic and rice, and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is fragrant and lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the stock mixture into the skillet and bring to a full boil. Stir in the mixed vegetables, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, to steam for another 15 minutes. Uncover and let the steam release for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Season with salt to taste. Serve alongside your favorite dishes.
