How to Make Arroz Brasileiro Rice With Tomatoes And Onions

  1. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil for about 1 minute.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent but not browned.
  3. Add the rice and stir constantly for about 3 minutes, until all the grains are coated with oil.
  4. Pour in the boiling chicken stock and water. Stir to combine.
  5. Add the undrained diced tomatoes, curry powder, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
