Brazilian White Rice image

White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky.

The rice was a bit mushy for my liking, but it still had a good flavor. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This rice was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good side dish. I think next time I'll add some herbs or spices to give it more flavor.
