Mountain Rice (Arroz Da Serra) - Portuguese Brazil Recipe #374070
This is from "Cuisines of Portguguese Encounters", which as recipes from the author's travels thru Portugal and its former colonies. This dish was made by Portuguese settlers combining their foods with the customs of the Tupi-Guarani Indians It's now part of Brazil's national cuisine. I haven't made it yet.
