    aargersi's Notes: My Brazilian neighbor used to make big batches of this and share with me, which I LOVED ... then she moved away and I had to figure it out for myself. I guess it's that whole teach a woman...

  1. Warm the chicken broth. Saute the garlic and rice in the butter over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until it begins to smell delicious and toasty. Add the broth. Bring it to a boil, add the corn and peas and cover. Set the timer for half the cook time on the rice (usually 10 minutes)

  2. When the timer beeps, stir the raisins, olives and hearts of palm into the rice. Taste the liquid and adjust the salt if needed. Cover and finish cooking the rice (usually 10 more minutes)

Yum! Last night was a food52 fest, we made this rice with the big meatballs (many thanks sargasso!), and they were absolute winners with everyone who jumped in. Definitely go to dishes in the future
