This is a quick and easy family favorite that is asked for at home and at potlucks and parties. What makes this recipe so good is the endless ways that you can season it. It's also easily converted for a very large amount. I have made it for as little as my husband and I all the way to a group of 80 for my son's engagement party. Use Greek, Old Bay®, seasoned salt, garlic powder - endless possibilities.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup white rice (basmati can be used)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
2 ounces angel hair pasta broken to pieces
2 tablespoons white onion
1 garlic clove
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Soak the white rice for 5 minutes. Drain. In a cooking pot, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the angel hair and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It should be light brown. Incorporate the drained rice, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice achieves a milky white color and it feels and sounds heavier when you move it. Add the chopped onion and garlic, stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour the broth over the rice, add the salt and lime juice, and once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid, and cook for about 20 minutes. The rice is ready when the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked. Turn off the heat and keep it covered for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Serve with lime or Yogurt Sauce.

ARROZ FRITO PORTUGUESA (FRIED RICE)



Arroz Frito Portuguesa (Fried Rice) image

At first glance, the fried rice of Macao looks like the ordinary Chinese variety. But Macanese cooks flavor it with the saffron, tomatoes and olive oil of Portugal. The rich amalgam of flavors can be traced to the travels of the spice traders during the late-15th and early-16th centuries.

Time 15m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Small pinch saffron
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon of water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 cup pureed tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup chopped yellow onions
3 cups cooked rice
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce or soy sauce
1/2 cup frozen green peas, defrosted
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Powder the saffron in a small bowl using your finger tips. Stir in one tablespoon of water and set aside.
  • In a wok or a large saute pan, heat one tablespoon of the oil and add the beaten egg. Immediately tilt the pan, spreading the egg to coat the bottom of the wok. As soon as the egg sets, turn off the heat. Scrape the omelet into a bowl, breaking into pieces.
  • Add the remaining oil to the wok over high heat. Add the ginger, sizzle for 15 seconds, then add the tomatoes and saffron water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the contents turn thick and glazed (about four minutes). Add the onions and cook an additional minute. Fold in the rice, salt, pepper and oyster or soy sauce. Cook until the contents are heated through (about two minutes). Stir in the peas and egg pieces, tossing for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and serve immediately.
