Hi,
One medium sized onion, diced up
4 to 6 pieces of becan cutup in pieces
Sautee lightly
...
and this was the "basis" for a lot of rice at our house. When it was eaten with a salad and an entrée. Normally this entrée would be some kind of meat, but I have always preferred it with some white fish to give it some flavor. You can sautee the fish lightly, or add a little flour and milk and make it a white sauce that you can pour over a baked fish.
Next recipe ... "feijoada" ... for the black bean appreciation society!
