Preparation Method

1Prepare the ingredients: finely dice the carrot and bell peppers. Chop the onion and garlic and set aside the remaining ingredients.
2Sauté the onion and garlic: heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and stir until lightly golden.
3Add the vegetables: add the carrot and bell peppers to the pan. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes, stirring so they cook evenly.
4Add the seasonings: add the Da Terrinha Turmeric, Da Terrinha Black Pepper and, if desired, your chosen Da Terrinha seasoning. Mix well to release the aromas and coat the vegetables.
5Sauté the rice: add the white rice and stir for about 2 minutes, until the grains are coated with the seasonings and turn golden.
6Cook: pour in the hot water, adjust the salt and stir. Cook over medium heat until most of the water has been absorbed. Reduce the heat, partially cover the pan and cook until the rice is tender.
7Finish with the colorful ingredients: turn off the heat and add the corn, peas and raisins, if desired. Add the Da Terrinha Parsley and mix gently with a fork.
8Rest and serve: cover the pan for approximately 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
