Today’s Special

Today’s special is White Rice and Beans with Liver and Beef vegetable sauce accompanied with Plantain. I thought of making something different and exciting rather than the normal Sunday “Rice and Stew”.

Ingredients: my measurement is for 6 people you can reduce the quantities based on the number of people you are cooking for.
Carrots – 5 large
Green beans – 3 hand full
Peas – 1 cup
Onions – 2 large
Tomatoes – 15 pieces
Pepper – according to your taste
Liver – half a kilo
Beef – half a kilo
Garlic – half teaspoon
Ginger – half teaspoon
Rice – 5 cups
Beans – 3 cups
Vegetable oil – 2 cooking spoons and Plantain

Preparation:
Perboil and cook your Rice and beans and add a pinch of salt
Sauce:
Boil your beef with seasoning cubes, salt, curry, thyme, garlic and ginger. Fry your beef and set aside. Perboil your liver, to enable you dice
Dice your carrots, green beans, liver.
Blend the pepper, onions and tomatoes
Bring the paste to a boil and allow the water to drain, then pour in your vegetable oil and allow the paste to fry.
When it has started sticking to the bottom of the pot it is well fried. Put in your beef stock and peas, allow to boil.PS you can add more seasoning cubes or salt to your satisfaction. Then to the mixture add your diced liver and fried beef, allow to simmer. Finally, put in your vegetables and allow to steam.
I actually put off the fire immediately I added my vegetables. I like them crunchy.and when the soup is left for some time the vegetables become saggy and overcooked.
