If you like rice, if you like beans porridge, if you like jollof rice,
you'll definitely love this meal. Just finished cooking yet pot is
cleared already as I type.
INGREDIENTS FOR NIGERIAN COCONUT RICE AND
BEANS:
*.2 Cups rice
*.11/2 cup beans
*.1 large onion
*.1/2 cups vegetable oil
*.1 small can tomato paste
*.1 large smoked fish
*.1 cup roughly ground crayfish
*.2 Seasoning cubes
*.1 teaspoon pepper or to your taste
*.2 cups coconut milk (1 sachet coconut milk powder)
*.Water enough to cover the rice
COOKING DIRECTION
1. Wash and boil beans with half of the onion. When beans is
soft, add salt to taste, not too much.
2. That's all.
3. In a separate pot, stir-fry the remaining onion with the
tomato paste, add the pepper and seasoning cubes, allow to fry
for 1 minute or more. Add the washed smoked fish and stir,
cover to cook for another 1 minute.
Add the coconut milk and leave to cook for yet another minute
or more. If it's the sachet powder milk, mix with a little water
before adding. I used the sachet milk powder.
4. Add crayfish to the coconut milk
5. Add washed rice and more water to cover the rice. Check
for salt and cover . Reduce the heat let it simmer until rice is
almost soft. By this time the beans is soft too.
6. Mash the soft beans a little and add to the "about to
cook" rice
7. Stir and mix very well, check for taste/salt again.
8. Cover and let it burn just a little so the lovely coconut
flavour will release itself into your pot of coconut rice and
beans. Serve and enjoy hot!
