Arroz frito con coco nigeriano al horno

Ingredientes

• 5 cups Basmati Rice (washed and drained)
• 6 cups Chicken stock
• 2 (400ml) cans coconut milk
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 3/4 cup cooking oil
• 2 lbs frozen mixed vegetables (thawed and patted dry with paper towel)
• 1/2 medium cabbage (sliced)
• 1 large green pepper (chopped)
• 1 -2 habanero pepper (finely chopped)
• 8 franks hotdogs (chopped (optional))
• 1/2 tsp tumeric powder

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees

2. 2

   In a roast pan, add the washed and drained Basmati rice. Mix in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir and taste for seasoning. Adjust as needed. The liquid should be 2 inches above the settled rice.

3. 3

   Cover pan tightly with aluminium foil, then put on the lower rack of the oven.

4. 4

   Heat up oil in a sauce pan, then sauté onions and garlic till onions is translucent.

5. 5

   Add the chopped hotdogs or (chopped cooked liver) stir fry for about 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add mixed veggies to the mix and stir fry on medium low heat until the remaining moisture from the frozen veggies evaporates. This takes about 8 minutes. I recommend a non stick saucepan for this.

7. 7

   Add the chopped cabbage and green pepper. Stir, taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Turn off heat and set aside.

8. 8

   Check rice for doneness. Rice is done when all liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft but not mushy.

9. 9

   Bring out rice from oven and fluff out with a fork. Then mix in the stir fried veggies.

10. 10

    Allow to rest for about a minute then serve.
