Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 3 cups Parboiled long-grain rice
  • 4 cups Chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons Curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 cups Mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, sweet corn, green beans)
  • 1/2 cup Cooked beef liver, diced
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small Green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 piece Scotch bonnet pepper, minced(optional)
  • 2 units Seasoning cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch and drain well.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil, then add the rice, curry powder, thyme, seasoning cubes, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the rice until it is about 90% done (firm to the bite) and the liquid is fully absorbed; set aside to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Sauté the onions and scotch bonnet pepper for 2 minutes, then add the diced liver and fry until slightly browned.

  6. 6

    Add the mixed vegetables and green bell pepper, stir-frying for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked rice to the vegetables in small batches, tossing and frying each batch for 2 minutes to ensure even distribution and flavor.

  8. 8

    Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot with fried chicken or plantains.
