WHAT TO MAKE FOR DINNER?
Let’s make Rice, Potato Salad and grilled sausage…
RICE:
To make the best rice in the world one needs to follow these directions:
1-      Wash and rinse well (very well) 2 cups of rice.
2-      On a cooking pan add 2 spoons of vegetable oil.
3-      Add fresh garlic chopped finely into the heating oil.
4-      Add half soup spoon of salt
5-      Add rinsed rice into the pan and stir
6-      When it starts to sizzle, add 3 and half cups of water. (cold water is fine)
7-      Stir well and try the water to taste for salt. Add salt if necessary.
8-      The flavor of the water will be the end flavor of the rice.
9-      When it boils, turn the heat low and let it cook until without opening or stirring.
10-   With a spoon check if the bottom is cooked. If so, turn it off and let it sit covered.
POTATO SALAD:
To make the best potato salad in the world follows these directions:
1-      Peel four potatoes and cut into small cubes
2-      Meanwhile place a pan with water and a pinch of salt to boil
3-      Add potatoes into the hot water.
4-      Once cooked to softness desired, drain the potatoes and save the water
5-      Use the same water to cook one carrot in cubes.
6-      Boil an egg. Hardboiled egg in a separate pan
Dressing for Potato Salad
A-     Separate the yolk (cooked) and place it in a small bowl
B-      Add 4 spoons of vegetable oil
C-      Add one spoon of lemon juice or one lemon squeezed.
D-     Add 2 spoons of vinegar
E-      Stir constantly and add a pinch of salt
F-      Add to the mixture on spoon of mayonnaise Hellmann’s.
G-     Mix it well and taste it. It must be somehow strong.
This dressing can be made without using Hellman’s. In this case oil needs to be added little by little, but I recommend to add mayo to obtain the consistency, without any separation.
 
Preparing the Salad:
A-     In a small cut board dice some onions, green paper, or anything you have in the fridge that could be added to the salad.
B-      One spoon of corn and one spoon of peas will make it tasty  (optional)
C-      Mix all ingredients into a bowl.
D-     Add chopped egg white into mixture
E-      Add dressing and mix it well.
F-      Check for flavoring and add salt, pepper or paprika.
G-     Place the entire mixture into a nice bowl and serve it cold.   
 
SAUSAGE ON THE GRILL
1-      Have some fresh sausage ready for grilling
2-      If it is frozen, boil it for five minutes and drain it
3-      If it comes from another country, boil it before grilling. It will kill bacteria
4-      After it is boiled, place on the grill and observe
5-      ENJOY
6-      The secret of a great sausage is obtained by boiling it before grilling.
 
FAROFA
1-      Add on a fry pan one spoon of butter along with one spoon of white chopped onions. Salt and one small piece of bacon. Cook it until onions and bacon are done.
2-      Add Yucca Flower (Farinha de Mandioca) and stir constantly, so it will not burn.
3-      Taste it for salt, and enjoy it…
