Instructions
- Tip the rice into a deep bowl and cover it with cold water, then get your hands in and massage the rice about to remove the starch. Repeat this 2-3 times until the water no longer becomes cloudy.
- Drain the rice and set aside.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Place a saucepan over a low heat, add the oil and then cook the onion for about 5 minutes until it is very soft but not coloured.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic then add it to the onion.
- Cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is just starting to colour.
- Once it starts to colour, remove the pan from the heat and immediately add in the drained rice.
- Stir everything together quickly so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Return the pan to a low heat and cook for a 2 minutes until the edges of the rice are starting to look a little opaque.
- Add 400ml of boiling water, a big pinch of salt and a shake of white pepper.
- Place a lid on the pan and cook over a low heat until all the water has been absorbed.
- Remove the pan from the heat, do not remove the lid, and leave the pan to stand for 5 minutes whilst you start the garnish.
- Peel and finely slice the garlic.
- Place a small frying pan over a low heat, add the oil and then add the garlic.
- Allow it to cook until the garlic is starting to crisp. Remove from the heat.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, pour over the crispy garlic and oil and serve.
- I serve this with my Brazilian Beef Kebabs and my Brazilian Tomato Salad.
