Brazillian Fried Rice!

[morphitudinous]

I've made this with my dad once or twice. It's delicious and goes great with chicken!

WHAT YOU NEED:

Tools:
Wet and dry measuring cups
Large bowl for stirring rice
Strainer for filtering out water
Large pot for cooking rice
Large skillet

Rice:
1.5 cups long-grain or brown rice
.5 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or butter substitute, whatevs you like

Flavoring:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (add one more if you skip bacon)
3 strips of bacon, cut into slivers (Dad says it tastes better without bacon, so you can skip this especially if you're a veg*n)
.5 medium red onion, diced
1 minced clove garlic
.5 medium green bell pepper, cored/seeded/cut into quarter inch dice
" red bell pepper
.5 cup cooked corn kernels
.25 cup dark raisins
.25 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and black pepper

WHAT TO DO:
1. Dump rice in large bowl, cover with 3 inches cold water. Stir until water gets cloudy, then drain in a strainer. Do this 'til water remains clear after a stirring.

2. Get a large, heavy pot and put it in. Cover with .75 inches of water, you'll need about 2.5 cups for this. Stior in salt an dbutter and boil. Cover the pan, set to low heat, and cook rice 'til tender. Will take 15-18 minutes. If it's too wet, crack the lid to evaporate some liquid. If two dry, add 2-3 tablespoons water. Take it off the heat and let it stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and set aside.

3. Flavorings! Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon if you're using it and cook about 4 minutes until lightly browned. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add everything else except salt and black pepper, then cook about 5 minutes until onion pieces are golden. Stir in the rice and cook for about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper if you want to, and done!

Possible variations: Add carrots if you like, or more or less of certain flavorings if that's your preference. Maybe some ground-up meat if you're a meat person?
