Ingredients:
500g long grain white Rice
500ml Chicken or Turkey stock/broth
100g Cow Liver (use beef as a substitute)
2 large Carrots
1 handful Green Peas or Runner Beans
1 large Green bell pepper
1 Onion bulb
2-3 tablespoonful Curry Powder
1 teaspoonful Garlic Powder
½ tablespoonful Black or white pepper (optional)
2- 3 Cooking spoonful Vegetable Oil
2 stock cube or bouillon cube for Seasoning
Salt (to taste)
For serving the Fried Rice:
500g Chicken/Turkey thighs or drumsticks
1 teaspoon thyme(for cooking the chicken)
1 teaspoon curry (for cooking the chicken)
1 stock cube (for cooking the chicken)
A few onion slices (for cooking the chicken)
Cooking Directions
1. If you don’t have stock, you can easily prepare a tasty stock by cooking the Chicken
Simply, Place the Chicken in a pot, add 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon curry, 1 stock cube and onion slices;
Add a little water and cook the chicken for 10 minutes. Then add more water and cook until done.
The liquid left after cooking the chicken, is your stock. Pour the stock into a Strainer to remove tiny chicken bones and any other particles in it; then set the stock aside for later use.
You can now go ahead and fry or grill the chicken.
2. Wash and place the cow liver in a pot, add seasoning cube and salt to taste; Cook the liver for 10 minutes, then when cooled, cut into cubes and set aside.
Liver can also be fried , before cutting into cubes.
Tip: If you can’t stand liver, you can use fried beef , chicken or shrimps as a substitute.
3. Parboil the Rice using the method HERE; then place in a sieve to drain out excess water.
Tip: Parboiling helps to reduce the starchy content of the rice which makes the grains to clump together when cooking.
The next step is to prepare the Vegetables
4a. Wash all the vegetables.
Dice the onion & set aside ;
b. Peel the carrots & cut into small cubes.
c. Remove the seeds of the green bell peppers & cut into small cubes.
