Portuguese Rice
Every summer, my parents would take all of us up to Cape Cod for a few weeks. I love the food up there. Between all of the different fresh fish and the great Portuguese dishes, I am in heaven. One of my favorite places to eat is John's Foot Long in Provincetown.
I am allergic to shellfish so I have never had it, but I heard that their lobster roll is one of the best. Judging by all of their other dishes, I would not doubt that. My favorite dish of theirs is their Portuguese Rice. I have been trying to find a similar recipe to theirs, but it is impossible. Along the way, I have combined a few recipes that I have found and came up with one that I like a lot.
It is nothing similar to John's in taste, but it is still very, very good. Definitely worth the try. #mycookbook
Enjoy!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Take the diced Linguica and cook in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook until slightly browned. Remove from the pan to let cool.
- 2
Coat the bottom of a medium pot with olive oil. Using a medium high heat, heat the oil for about 2 minutes.
- 3
Add the onions, garlic, black pepper, paprika, and bay leaves. Saute the onion mix until the onions are somewhat soft and translucent.
- 4
Add the tomatoes to the onion mix and cook together for about 5 minutes. Then add the parsley to the pot, cook for another minute or two.
- 5
Then add the water to the pot and bring to a boil. Once everything is boiling, add the rice. Remove the bay leaves.
- 6
Stir the rice to mix everything together, then cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes.
- 7
Add the linguica into the pot, stir to mix together, cover again, and cook another 5 minutes. If you like the crispy rice on the bottom, then cook 10-15 minutes instead.
- 8
When done, stir once and let sit for about 5 minutes. That is if you can wait that long. If not and you do not mind hot rice, then dig in!

Serve and Enjoy!

Portuguese Rice Pudding Portuguese Rice Pudding
This is the recipe my Vavo (Grandmother) would make for dessert on Sundays, when we would all gather at her house for dinner. It may differ from mainland Portugal, my Grandmother was from the Azores.All I can say is when the recipe says do not stir the pot, resist the urge, don't do it. My grandmother had me standing for 2 hours stirring to make sure hers did not stick when I made this mistake.

Coconut Rice Coconut Rice
This rice is probably my favorite rice to eat on its own. The sweetness of coconut really comes through and doesn't need sauce or condiments.While this recipe comes from Epicuriois, I've modified the recipe to use full cans of coconut milk and cream so there's not half cans left over.
