Saturday Night Supper - Brazilian Rice

May has been full of wonderful visitors to Lowfields!  Our friends Anna & Larry Davis visited the farm recently.  They own a brazilian restaurant in Oklahoma City so I coerced Anna into sharing some of her amazing Brazilian cooking tips/recipes.    A staple is Brazilian Rice and she graciously made it for us while they were here.

Brazilian Rice

1 cup rice (TIP:  she rinses rice in water prior to cooking)

Olive Oil

3 cloves of garlic

Saute garlic and rice in olive oil FIRST and then add 2 cups of water to cook as usual.  This rice was amazingly fluffy and delicious!

To complete the meal, we took sautéed some onions and added some chicken stock and then added some rinsed lentils.  Cook until lentils are tender then add some carrots and cook until soft.  Serve over the rice!

Along with a salad made with avocado and radishes from our garden, this was a perfect Saturday Night Supper!
