Good ol' Rice and Stew

Rice and stew has to be the most famous dish in Nigeria. Whether you're Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Efik, Urhobo, Benin, Itsekiri, Tiv, Ogoni, Ikwerre, etc...everyone loves some good ol' rice and stew. I'm putting the recipe but I'll leave the quantity to your discretion.


Just pretend you didn't see the heart on my rice...that's my how much i love rice ;)

Ingredients:
Tomatoes
Pepper
Onions
Tatase
Tomato paste (tin tomatoes)
Turkey/Chicken (or any meat of your choice)
Knorr Cubes
Curry
Garlic
Ginger
Vegetable Oil

Directions:
Blend the tomatoes, pepper, onions and tatase. Pour into a big pot and boil. Boil the tomatoes till it's totally dried out. Turn off the heat.

In another pot, add the chicken or turkey and season with salt, curry, ginger, garlic and knorr. Blend some onions and pepper and add. Cook till the meat is done. Strain the meat from the stock and then fry the meat. Set aside.

Pour some of the oil used to fry the chicken/turkey into the dried tomatoes then add the tomato paste. Turn on the heat now and fry the tomatoes till the oil starts to settle on top on the tomatoes. Add the meat stock and fried meat, cover the pot to simmer for about 5minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve with white rice and ENJOY!!!
