It is with pleasure that I share with us a meal that I prepared for dinner.
I have been craving rice and stew for a long time and I decided to satisfy my cravings.

Rice and stew is my favorite meal and I am not sure I can go a month without cooking it.
I know you are probably wondering if I finished this food by myself hahahaha. Look at my hands, I have got two spoons
Firstly, I blended the fresh tomato, pepper and garlic together, steamed it for it to turn to paste. I then seasoned my chickened and cooked it. After cooking, I fried it with groundnut oil.

After frying the chicken, I proceeded to making the stew. I used the tomato paste I made, together with an already made tomato paste to make the stew.
I started by heating up the groundnut oil, I added onions, the tomato pastes, seasoning, chicken stock and spices. I then added chicken and the vegetable and in few minutes, the sew was ready

After preparing stew, I boiled water for rice. When cooking white rice, I usually add salt to it to taste. I don't enjoy white rice without salt. Some people enjoy it without salt. What the do is, add more salt to the stew so it can be sufficient for the rice when mixed together. But I prefer it my way.
So Ladies and gentlemen, Let us eat!
