I tried this a lot when I was with my grandmother in Ivory Coast. it made sense then and ever since then I have been doing this. Make a try during the holidays and see the wonders of this great recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cold water

Instructions
 

  • In a pan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir.
  • Cook over low heat, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
  • Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then remove the lid.
  • Once the rice has cooled, combine in a large bowl with the meat, onin, egg, garlic powder, garlic salt, and pepper.
