Ingredients
- 5 cups Basmati Rice washed and drained
- 6 cups Chicken stock
- 2 (400ml) cans coconut milk
- 1 large onion chopped
- ¾ cup cooking oil
- 2 lbs frozen mixed vegetables thawed and patted dry with paper towel
- ½ medium cabbage sliced
- 1 large green pepper chopped
- 1 -2 habanero pepper finely chopped
- 8 franks hotdogs chopped (optional)
- ½ tsp tumeric powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- 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.
- Cover pan tightly with aluminium foil, then put on the lower rack of the oven.
- Heat up oil in a sauce pan, then sauté onions and garlic till onions is translucent.
- Add the chopped hotdogs or (chopped cooked liver) stir fry for about 2 minutes.
- 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.
- Add the chopped cabbage and green pepper. Stir, taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Turn off heat and set aside.
- Check rice for doneness. Rice is done when all liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft but not mushy.
- Bring out rice from oven and fluff out with a fork. Then mix in the stir fried veggies.
- Allow to rest for about a minute then serve.
