Jollof Rice with Fried Plantains
Fragrant parboiled rice simmered in a zesty tomato-pepper base, served with succulent grilled chicken and sweet, caramelized fried plantains.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup parboiled rice
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup red onion
1 tsp avocado oil
0.5 medium yellow plantain
0.5 cup chicken bone broth
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp curry powder
1 small garlic clove
0.25 tsp ground ginger
PREPARATION
Pulse the tomato puree, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and ginger in a blender until a smooth puree forms.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, thyme, and curry powder, then grill over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In a medium pot, heat half of the avocado oil and add the blended tomato mixture, cooking for 5 minutes until the color deepens and the liquid reduces.
Stir in the parboiled rice, chicken bone broth, and remaining seasonings, then cover and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
While the rice cooks, peel and slice the plantain into rounds and pan-fry in the remaining avocado oil until they are golden and caramelized on both sides.
Fluff the Jollof rice with a fork and serve immediately alongside the sliced grilled chicken and sweet plantains.
