Introduced by the Spanish, rice is a common starch in South America and the Caribbean. The sautéed aromatics make this a natural partner with earthy Simple Black Beans, but it is an appropriate side at any Venezuelan meal. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
4 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and pepper to pan; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add 4 cups water and salt; bring to a boil. Stir in rice. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes before serving.
