Brazilian Rice

Heat a sauté pan with straight sides.

Add olive oil to the pan.

Add 1.5 cups of long grain rice to the pan and mix with the oil.

Brown the rice slightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Halfway through browning, add garlic to the rice and stir to combine.

Once the rice is lightly browned, add chicken stock to the pan.

Add a few cranks of pepper and a pinch of salt to taste.

Let the rice absorb the liquid, stirring occasionally.

Check the rice for doneness by tasting it; if it's crunchy, continue cooking.

If the rice cooks down, add more chicken stock to help it cook through.

Allow the rice to cook for about 10-15 minutes until softened.

Once cooked, let the rice set for a few minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.

Transfer the rice to a serving dish.

Chop Italian parsley and sprinkle it over the rice for color.
