"A recipe from "Pasto - Portuguese Food Blog by Pedro Rebelo". Posting this for the Culinary Quest 2016. Here is what he states about the dish: "Mixing rice and broccoli never struck me as a natural combination until I saw it as a side dish for meat dishes in Portuguese restaurants in Rio de Janeiro. Classic places like Nova Capela in Rio’s Lapa district serve it with a delicious roast kid. This is a simple and quick version which keeps the freshness of the broccoli by adding them just before the rice is cooked.""
