Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets in Nairobi or neighborhood duka stores. If you cannot find specific Brazilian-style salsichão, a high-quality smoked pork sausage or frankfurter acts as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Sauté the grated onion in the oil in a medium saucepan.
- Add the diced sausage and brown lightly.
- Stir in the rice and sauté for a few minutes until well coated.
- Pour in the light beer, the beef bouillon dissolved in the boiling water, and the chopped olives.
- Stir all ingredients together to combine well.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed.
- Serve hot.
Observations
Beer rice is a classic and comforting staple in Brazilian home cooking, cherished for its simplicity and bold, savory profile. The beer adds a subtle complexity to the grains, helping to soften them while infusing the rice with a unique malty character. This recipe is perfect for those looking for an easy, flavorful twist on a standard side dish. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or can be enjoyed as a satisfying main course.
