PORTUGUESE RICE

1 1/2 cups raw rice, well washed
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. ea. salt and pepper or 1/2 pkt Goya Sazon
3/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large can tomatoes
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce (optional)
2 cans low-sodium or regular chicken broth
1 large green or red bell pepper
1 lb. linguica sausage, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
pinch garlic powder, onion powder, to taste
pinch salt, pepper, cayenne, to taste (if needed)

Cooks Note: Although the taste will not be the same, Salami, or pepperoni may be substituted where linquica is not available.

Grease a casserole and combine all ingredients except sausage. Home made stock or reconstituted soup base may be substituted (about 24 oz) for the canned soup.

Bake, uncovered, at 450°F for one hour. Stir well every 15 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes, add the sausage.

If mixture is too dry, add a little water. Rice will absorb moisture as it cooks; add enough water to keep the rice moist but not wet.

Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder, or cayenne pepper, if desired.
