Arroz de Milho

Arroz de Milho is a vibrant Brazilian rice dish featuring the wholesome goodness of corn and fresh herbs. This dish is not only comforting but also packed with nutrients, making it a delightful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

• Brown rice - 150 grams
• Sweet corn (canned or frozen) - 150 grams
• Vegetable broth - 400 ml
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the rinsed brown rice and cook for 2 minutes, ensuring the rice is well-coated with the oil.
