Jasmine Rice Recipe

Brazilians love rice and beans! Some like to season it with onions, some with garlic and onion. I have some picky eaters and they do not like the texture of cooked onion so I had to adjust. I hope you like it. Now this thing of only cooking rice with water is a no-no where I come from. Even if you have other plans for the rice, you still season it properly.

Having lived abroad takes you away from the stuff you are used to so adjusting is part of the process. I chose Jasmine rice to replace the Brazilian type rice. Sometimes I go back home (Brazil) and it is almost like I miss the taste of Jasmine rice. Go figure.
