Ingredients
3 cups golden sella basmati rice (sub with long grain rice)
Dice the onion and slice the habanero peppers and set aside
Place a pan (preferable a dutch oven) over medium heat and pour in the coconut oil. Saute the onions until they become translucent. Add in the tomato paste and continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes, then add the sliced habaneros
Pour in and stir a jar of Egunsi Foods Ata Din Din sauce. Add in the coconut milk, Ekaterra Jollof Mix, and salt and give everything a stir then pour in the vegetable stock
Add the rice to the saucepan, distributing the rice to ensure it is evenly distributed in the pan. Avoid stirring so the rice doesn’t burn. Lower the heat and simmer until water is completely absorbed and the rice is tender - about 20 - 25 minutes. Check half way through cooking and add more stock or water if needed.
Remove the rice from the heat and serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Recipe Note
If you are using a saucepan, versus a dutch oven, cover the saucepan with aluminum foil, then the lid, and lower the heat.
