This recipe was given to me by a Portuguese friend about 5 or 6 years ago...it is my favorite rice dish. Great on its own or with any meal as a side dish. Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter |
1 large onion finely chopped |
1 large clove garlic, minced |
1 large carrot, finely chopped |
1 sweet red or green pepper, seeded, cored and diced |
3 c chicken stock or water |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/4 tsp ground allspice (the secret ingredient in this tasty rice |
1 dash of piri-piri or tabasco sauce |
1 c short or long grain rice |
Directions:
1. I a large heavy saucepan or dutch oven, melt the butter over med-high heat;, cook the onion, carrot, pepper and garlic, stirring occasionally for 3 - 5 minutes until softened.Pour in stock, cover and bring to a boil.
2. Stir in salt, allspice, piri piri sauce and rice.. Cover and return to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook till all liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Serve.
3. I didn't have any peppers today so left it out ...just as good with just the carrots , garlic and onions.
