Soak 1/2 cup of rice in 1 cup of water for about 5 minutes to soften it.

Prepare the sauce by adding a red bell pepper, white onion, tomatillos, tomatoes, 4 cloves of garlic, and fresh cilantro to a blender.

Add 1 cup of beer to the blender along with pepper, complete seasoning, 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds, and ground pumpkin seeds.

Add the soaked rice with its water to the blender, then blend everything into a liquid.

Add the blended sauce to the partially cooked chicken in the pot, mixing well.

Season the mixture with 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of chicken consomme, then cover and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour.

Slice fresh vegetables: red onion, tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes for sandwich assembly.

Finely slice the cooked beets once they are soft.

Prepare the sauce for the sandwich by mixing 1 cup of mayonnaise with equal parts mustard, ketchup, and dill relish until pink.
