Directions

  1. In a 4-quart pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onions and garlic and stir-fry until golden.
  3. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly toasted and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the water, bay leaf, tomatoes and salt and bring to a boil.
  5. Cover and reduce the heat so that the rice just simmers.
  6. Cook undisturbed until tender, about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from the heat and let stand covered without stirring for 10 minutes.
  8. Fluff with a fork, discard the bay leaf, and serve.

Love rice, I follow my mother's recipe, the same as above with these additions: chopped red bell pepper, 1 bay leaf, 1 clove. This makes 3 meals for me. I've also used leftovers to stuff bell peppers.

Eddy
Thank you for the tips Shirley.

What Portuguese person uses canola oil??? Olive oil ✅

Eddy
It's not my recipe but I respect the author choice. My wife is a great Portuguese food cook and she doesn't always use olive oil on rice.
