Tasty Brazilian Rice


This recipe came from a neighbor (Lynette Squire) who was a missionary in Brazil several years ago. I couldn't wait to try it and see if it suited Brandon's Brazilian tastes as well. It's a keeper. I've made it a few times now and the Basmati rice works better than regular long grain.

2 cups rice
4 cups water
1 t. salt
2 T. green sauce, or garlic and onion powder seasoning to taste
3 T. oil

Heat oil in bottom of sauce pan. Add salt and green sauce, or seasonings, and saute for about 3 minutes. Add rice and stir until rice begins to turn white. Add water and boil, covered, for about 20 minutes.
