Rice is as important as beans in Brazilian cooking; it is always first fried in oil.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 cups long-grain rice, rinsed
6 1/2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over a low flame. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Turn heat to high, add 5 cups of water and the salt, stir, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and cover. Continue cooking until most of the water evaporates, about 10 more minutes.
  • Add remaining water without stirring, turn heat down very low, and re-cover pot. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
