This is my entry for the esie Christmas contest in #ecency
Christmas menu 🍾
Tell us about the Christmas food. It can be something that you usually have for Christmas or want to have. You can share the recipe or just tell us about the food.
We all look forward to celebrating Christmas🎄 with loved ones, family friends, colleagues, co-workers or whatever the situation might be. In all we try to treat ourselves to special delicacies on that day. Although, we still have like 2weeks to go but for the purpose of this contest I would brief you on one if the delicacies🍲 that would be made on that day.
The delicacy is a popular food in Nigeria called the "fried rice" 🍚mixed with several veggies. Sounds yummy right, this is mostly prepared for occasions often accompanied with fried chicken🍗 and well creamed salad🥗.
Ingredients for "fried rice"
- foreign rice (important)
- Maggi (knorr chicken)
- thyme
- curry
- chicken🐔
- chicken stock
- groundnut oil
- onions🧅
- green pepper🌶️
- sweet peas
- green beans🫘
- carrots🥕
- beef liver or kidney
- cayenne pepper
Above are the ingredients necessary for the preparation of the fried rice. Although it's time consuming but its worth it at the end.
Briefly, all you need do is boil the chicken and fry it till golden brown, do not throw away the chicken stock. Set that aside and dice your veggies which includes the sweet peas, carrot, green beans, cayenne pepper and all then stir fry and also set aside. After this you boil the rice by adding Maggi (chicken knorr) and curry and thyme with salt obviously but be careful. Cook the rice with the meat stock and when it is almost done add, your veggies and stir till when circulated. You should have a greenish looked pot of rice with lots of veggies and a nice aroma.
Don't worry, I will share with you pictures from this recipe on Christmas day because I didn't take pictures last month I prepared it. Stay tuned.
