Part 5/6:
After mixing, pour in the appropriate amount of water and cover the pot. This is when the magic happens as the flavors intermingle and the rice absorbs all the savory goodness.
Final Touches
As the dish starts simmering, introduce cherry tomatoes just before finishing. By adding them later, they will retain their shape and provide bursts of flavor when bitten into. Allow the dish to cook until the rice is fluffy and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Once cooked, stir in fresh chopped herbs such as parsley and scallions to brighten up the dish. As you plate your galinhada, make sure to highlight the beautiful colors created by the vegetables and herbs, giving the dish an enticing visual appeal.
