About
the cooks: The African Caribbean Womens Group meet every
Thursday between 10am and 4pm. It's a group for older African
Caribbean women from the area. They do arts and crafts, socialise
and go on day trips. It's a chance for them to get together.
They also have a traditional meal each week. Pearl Hands and
Leonie Braisford from the group made Caribbean Chicken, Rice
and Peas for us. |
Ingredients
for Chicken:
6 x Chicken Thighs
2 or 3 Garlic Cloves
1 x Large Onion
Black pepper
Chicken stock
Corn oil
1 tbs x Paprika
1 tbs x Margarine
1 tsp x Hot Pepper Sauce
For
Rice:
1 x Tin Red Beans
1 lb x Washed Rice
1 tsp x Olive Oil
|
Method:
Wash the chicken thoroughly. Add into a bowl, 2/3 chopped
garlic cloves, one large chopped onion and some black pepper.
Put in the chicken pieces and marinate overnight (two hours
would be enough).
Remove the chicken from the marinade (keep the marinade).
.Heat some corn oil in a large frying pan - add the chicken
and brown it on both sides. Transfer the chicken into a saucepan
and pour the seasoning on top.
Mix 2 chicken stock in 陆 pint of water, add a table spoon
of Paprika mix it together and pour over the chicken. Cover
and simmer. Add a table spoon of margarine and a teaspoon
of hot pepper sauce.
Continue to simmer until well cooked and the meat comes away
from the bone easily. Add more water if needed - if the water
has soaked up but the chicken is not cooked. Cook until it
looks like a gravy.
For
the rice: Boil the red beans until they are soft. Wash
the rice thoroughly. Add the rice to the beans and stir together.
Add a teaspoon of olive oil.
Pour
in water until the rice is covered in three inches of water.
Bring to the boil. Turn to a low heat until the rice has absorbed
all of the water. Never stir the rice from the beginning.
Once the rice has absorbed the water, taste, if not cooked
add a little water until cooked.
