Rice and Beans

Brazil is a rice and bean nation. This duo is the backbone of every household in the country. When it comes to the basics, Brazilians count on ordinary white rice. I like basmati and jasmine, and you can use either one for this recipe. Brazilians like their rice quite loose, never sticky, and that’s why we wash it beforehand. We also never stir during the cooking process. As for the beans, black beans rule in Brazil, but feel free to use other types of beans such as red kidney or pinto. Whe
