BRAZILIAN WHITE RICE
White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky.

TRUE BRAZILIAN RICE
Rice is a part of life in Brazil, it is a part of the culture, and it is something you need to know how to cook when making Brazilian food. Rice in Brazil is seasoned differently to rice in the USA or Europe. Recipe is from A Taste of Brazil blog.

Steps:
- Wash the rice until the water runs clear and set aside to dry. Boil enough water for two cups. Chop the onions and garlic finely. Place a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once olive oil is heated add the chopped onions and garlic.
- Sauté until fragrant; approximately 3 minutes. Add the dry rice to the pan and stir for an additional 3-4 minutes making sure that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Add the two cups of boiling water to the rice and the salt.
- Place a lid on the pan and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes. Decrease the heat to low and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the water has all evaporated. If the rice is not cooked yet, add a little bit more water!

BRAZILIAN YELLOW RICE
This dish is a staple that was brought to Brazil in the 1500s by Portuguese colonizers. Saffron was originally used to season and color the rice, but turmeric became more popular due to its greater abundance and lower price. This version is based on a college friend's recipe. Her family in Brazil usually served it alongside black beans stewed with similar ingredients to compliment the flavor and make a complete meal. For special occasions, they added chicken, peppers and peas, transforming the rice into a popular dish called galinhada.

Steps:
- Add the oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and the spices are toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir until the grains are completely incorporated into the onion mixture. Add the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes more; the rice will continue to steam. Uncover the pot. All the broth should be absorbed and the onions will be on top. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
