Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Concoction rice is the Nigerian rice dish cooked with palm oil instead of tomato and vegetable oil: rice simmered in a red pepper base with crayfish, smoked and dried fish, locust beans and scent leaves. It is the "native" answer to jollof, a one-pot everyday meal that costs less and tastes of the village. The Efik call it iwuk edesi; Yoruba homes call it palm oil rice; everyone else calls it concoction, because you throw in whatever traditional ingredient you have.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
