Check Rice

What we know so far

Check rice (Liberians also say "chuck rice") is white rice cooked with mashed green leaves folded through it, so every grain is coated pale green and slightly slippery. The traditional leaf is jute leaf, called crain crain in Liberia, which gives the same silky pull as okra; where jute is hard to find, cooks use a mix of okra and spinach or another dark green. It is a special-occasion rice in Liberia, and "chuck rice and gravy", the green rice under a rich pepper-and-tomato gravy with smoked meat and fried fish, is a Liberian restaurant classic in the diaspora.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
