Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Coconut rice is the Nigerian party rice that sits beside jollof and fried rice: long-grain rice cooked in fresh coconut milk so that every grain is rich and faintly sweet, seasoned with thyme, curry powder, chilli and stock, and often coloured with a little tomato stew or brightened with mixed vegetables and shrimp. It is served with fried chicken or fish, fried plantain and moi moi at Sunday lunches and celebrations, and it is a dish where the coconut must be tasted, not hidden.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
