Rice and stew 🤤
Simple… but undefeated.
---
There’s just something about it:
Hot fluffy rice
Rich tomato stew
That perfect mix of spice and flavor
---
Here’s exactly how I make mine 👇
---
🍚 How I cook the rice:
1. Rinse the rice 2–3 times (to remove excess starch)
2. Add water (just enough to cover the rice)
3. Add a pinch of salt
4. Cook on medium heat till soft
5. Let it steam for a few minutes

🍅 How I make the stew:
Step 1: Blend
Fresh tomatoes + pepper + onions
---
Step 2: Fry
Heat oil, add onions, then fry the blended mix
Let it cook until the water dries and the oil separates
---
Step 3: Season
Add salt, seasoning, and spice
Then add your protein (chicken, beef, or fish)
---
Step 4: Let it simmer
This is where the real flavor comes out 🔥
---
🍛 Serve hot with your rice
---
That first bite?
Always worth it.

💡 Tip:
Don’t rush the stew.
The longer it fries (properly), the better it tastes.
