It's one of those meals that works for almost any occasion, family gatherings, celebrations, weekends, or even a simple lunch.

 

The rich tomato flavour, the spices, the smoky taste, and the combination of tender chicken with sweet fried plantain always make it a satisfying meal.

How I make it: 

Blend tomatoes, pepper, onions, and seasoning ingredients.

Fry the mixture with tomato paste and spices.

Add stock and allow it to cook well.

Add washed rice and cook until tender.

Fry ripe plantain until golden brown.

Grill or fry seasoned chicken and serve together.

The secret is giving the tomato sauce enough time to cook properly before adding the rice. That helps develop a richer flavour.
