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!

Steps
- 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!
