Re: pumpkin rice
from the BEAC(Black Education Awareness Comittee of Childrens Aid Society- Toronto)
tried and tested recipe
Ingredients:
• 4 cups coconut milk • 1lb pumpkin or squash , diced
• 1 sprig thyme • 1 whole Scotch Bonnet pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed • 1 onion, chopped
• 3 scallions, chopped • 2 cups rice
Preparation:
1. Put everything except the rice in a Dutch Pot or large skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the rice, and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes until all the liquid is gone. Remove the Scotch Bonnet pepper carefully so it doesn’t burst and also remove the pieces of thyme sticks from the top of the rice.
2. The rice should be fluffy. If the grains are still hard, add ¼ cup of water and continue to steam for about 10 minutes on very low heat.
Variations
I/2 lb of boneless salt fish (rinse off the salt)
1 large tomato, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
Place salt fish in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked. Drain and flake salt fish.
Sauté onions, tomato and salt fish and add to the pot when the rice is added.
