Chopped fresh parsley

Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in the Marshall Islands, typically in the canned goods, dairy, and fresh produce aisles. For the requeijão, which is a Brazilian-style spreadable cream cheese, check specialty import stores; as a substitute, you may use a high-quality cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to achieve a similar consistency.
Preparation method
- Prepare the rice, cooking it with olive oil and onion until it is tender.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir in the ingredients one by one: sweet corn, tomato sauce, grated cheese, heart of palm, and finally the creamy requeijão.
- Mix thoroughly until the consistency is uniform and creamy.
- Finish by folding in the butter and the chopped parsley before serving.
