Recipe of the Day, Week No. 54: (Coconut Jollof Rice)

Hello Noble Steemit Community! Warm regards to everyone from home and abroad, I'm Anthony from Nigeria and it's a pleasure to welcome you to my post, I'm delighted to engage in this week's fascinating dynamic, topic: My Recipes

Before I proceed, I would love to thank @mvchacin, for organizing this beautiful contest to share my recipe and also the noble community @steemit-ironchef; it's an honor to be among the participants. Let's dive in!

I have waited for the perfect contest to share this recipe and I guess this is it. I will be using this dynamic to share my recipe.

I started by breaking the coconuts so I could extract the milk; I then washed the coconuts before I grated them and sieved the milk.

Coconut jollof rice is a delicious and flavorful West African dish! Below is the step-by-step guide to preparing coconut jollof rice with vegetables:

Ingredients

• 3 cups uncooked long-grain rice
• 3 cups coconut milk
• 2 cups water
• Vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Seasoning cubes, to taste
• mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers and green beans)
• 2 Scotch bonnet peppers, chopped
• Fresh tomatoes

Cooking instructions

• I start by rinsing and preparing the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

• turned on my gas cooker, placed a saucepan on top, and heated oil and sauté onions in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and tomatoes, and sauté until translucent.

• Add the spices, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes.

• I then added the mixed vegetables and stir well. I Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften.

• Before I then, Pour in the coconut milk and water and stir well.

• Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir well to mix or combine perfectly.

• Allow the mixture to boil, and simmer until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.

• Serve hot and enjoy with my boiled egg and cabbage (salad)

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
