I often make rice.....in a rice cooker. Put the rice in add the water and in about twenty minutes the rice is cooked! I don't know if I would have ever bought myself a rice cooker, but a friend gave it to me as a present when I was in college. According to sonia-portugese.com, most Brazilians eat rice with beans for lunch and dinner every day. I'm not a big bean eater, but regardless, I don't think I could eat the same thing every day! I have to say that this dish is super simple with few ingredients. The sauteed onion and garlic added nice flavor to otherwise plain rice. We all enjoyed this as an accompaniment to a not so flavorful chicken dish.
