Brazilian Beans And Rice Recipes

BRAZILIAN BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the rice and chicken broth to a boil on high heat.
• Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the saucepan. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the lime juice and the cilantro.
• In a big skillet, heat olive oil on medium high heat. Add the onions and cook them for 3 minutes, until they start to turn clear. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the beans, broth, and the seasonings. On low heat, cook for 7-8 minutes while stirring.
• Remove from heat and add the lime juice. Mash the beans with a spatula until the beans are the consistency you want.
• Serve the beans with the rice.

BRAZILAN STYLE BLACK BEANS IN PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Place beans in a fine mesh strainer and pick out any shriveled ones, along with any impurities.
• Heat pressure cooker to medium-high heat (sauté setting for electric pressure cooker, medium heat on stove top for regular pressure cooker). While pot is heating, cut bacon into about 1/2-inch pieces. Cook bacon until lightly browned and starting to crisp. Add diced onion and cook, stirring often for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
• Add beans, broth and water, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and secure lid. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, and then release steam from pot. If desired, lightly smash some beans on the side of the pot (this will thicken them), season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve over white rice.

BRAZILIAN BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Beans (Soaking): Rinse and sort beans. Cook beans with water in the pressure cooker for 30-40 minutes (I like to soak overnight, then cook for several hours in a crock pot).
• Marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients. Marinade meat for an hour or two.
• Onion Mixture: In frying pan, add oil. Cook onion, garlic and meat cubes.
• After meat is cooked, reserve about 1/4 of mixture for the rice (reserving the large pieces of meat for the beans).
• Beans: Add bacon to pan with onion mixture.
• After bacon is cooked, add the cooked beans and some water until it is a little thick (I like to add all the frying pan ingredients to the crock pot and cook for several more hours).
• Rice: Bring water to boiling. Add rice, salt and reserved onion mixture. Simmer for 20 minutes.

BRAZILIAN SWEET BANANA AND RICE DISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, and rum in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange bananas cut-side down in the baking dish. Pour enough sauce over bananas to cover, reserving any extra sauce for serving.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bananas are soft and sticky, about 30 minutes.
• Bring water and brown rice to a boil in another saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Combine black beans and diced tomatoes in a skillet over low heat; heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage links; cook, flipping often, until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Slice sausage into small pieces.
• Scoop rice into a large bowl. Pour black beans on top. Sprinkle dill and basil on top. Add sausage; mix gently to combine. Serve bananas alongside.
