What's Cooking?

        


Today we are sharing a traditional Kenyan dish for you to try at home. Make note, a sufuria is a pot or pan, dania is cilantro and Royco is a brand name for various prepackaged seasoning mixes. Enjoy your meal!

BOILED RICE AND BEAN STEW

The rice is prepared by measuring the amount of rice you want to cook. Then measure the amount of water to be double the quantity of rice and pour the water in a sufuria and put it on fire. Add adequate cooking oil to the water then let it boil. Add salt to taste. Pour the rice into the sufuria containing boiling water and reduce the amount of heat. Let it simmer for 15 to 20 min when the rice will have cooked well and the water has dried. Add some crushed dania and pepper at the top of the sufuria and cover it leaving it to cool.

HOW TO PREPARE BEAN STEW

Cut two balls of onions on a plate. Cut four ripe tomatoes, dania and pepper on another plate. Put a sufuria on fire and add in enough cooking oil to heat. Add in the tomatoes and let them fry till golden brown in colour. Add in the cut tomatoes, dania and pepper to cook to form a thick syrup like mixture. Pour in the boiled beans and mix the mixture well. Add in salt to taste. Add in Royco as a flavour. Pour in a cup of water according to the amount of beans being fried and let the mixture simmer for 5 min to cook well. Serve the warm stewed beans and boiled rice on a plate.
