Ingredients
1 small onion, grated
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
100g chopped salsichão (smoked sausage)
1 1/2 cups rice
1 1/2 cups light beer
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 1/2 cups boiling water
8 pitted black olives
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
100g chopped salsichão (smoked sausage)
1 1/2 cups rice
1 1/2 cups light beer
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 1/2 cups boiling water
8 pitted black olives
Where to find ingredients
You can find onions, vegetable oil, rice, and beef bouillon at any local supermarket. For the salsichão, check the deli or butcher counter for a smoked pork sausage; as a substitute, a mild kielbasa or a standard smoked bratwurst works well. Black olives are usually available in the canned goods or pantry aisle.
Preparation method
- Sauté the grated onion in the oil using a large saucepan.
- Add the chopped salsichão and brown it lightly.
- Stir in the rice and sauté well for a few minutes to coat the grains.
- Pour in the light beer, the beef bouillon dissolved in boiling water, and the chopped olives.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the bouillon is well incorporated.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until all the liquid has been fully absorbed.
- Serve hot.
Observations
Beer rice is a classic, comforting staple of Brazilian home cooking, widely celebrated for its simplicity and bold, savory profile. The addition of beer brings a subtle complexity and lightness to the grains, while helping to achieve a perfect, tender texture. This recipe is an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their standard side dish without spending hours in the kitchen. It pairs beautifully with roast meats, chicken, or stands on its own as a simple, satisfying meal.
