Rice has been one of the major food in the homes Nigerians. Before now it was the cheapest food but right now it is very expensive. I don't think there is any child that doesn't like eating rice and so we have different recipes of rice
Actually, in my home I do cook different recipes of rice just to make my family members enjoy eating rice. This week, I prepared a local rice with palm oil.
It is very easy to prepare with very few ingredients, but you need to make it tasty with your salt, crayfish and seasoning cubes.
I remember when I was in school hostel this was always the cheapest food for students to eat and it was my favourite, but now it is the most expensive food due to the economy on my country.
I will show thow to cook this rice so you can as well prepare it for yourself and have a taste of it.
Ingredients
- Rice
- Fish
- Onion
- Palm oil
- Crayfish
- Pepper
Please Note; you can use any type of fish either dry or fresh, you can also use any local spice of your choice, depending on your taste. I used fresh sardines fish to cook mine as I was craving for the sardines fish, I didn't also add any spices to it because I didn't want to alter the flavour of the palm oil with sardines fish.
Mis en place ingredients
Steps
First add palm oil to your pot when it hot, fry onion to add a good flavour to the rice.
Pour parboiled white rice to the pot and stir consistently to avoid getting burnt.
After stirring, add crayfish, pepper, fish, seasoning cubes as well salt to taste then add a considerable amount of water required to soften the rice.
When the rice is soft enough, add vegetables, I used pumpkin leaf, curry leaf and onion as my vegetables in the rice.
