Portuguese Rice Recipe

 

1 Linguica sausage -- small dice
3/4 cup raw long-grain white rice
1 1/2 cups Water
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons cilantro -- fresh


Sauté diced sausage in a heavy saucepan until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Add rice, stirring well to coat grains. Add water and salt, and bring a boil. Lower heat, cover pan, and simmer for 19 minutes, or until grains are soft and water has evaporated. Stir in cilantro. Serves 4.
