JAMAICAN SEASONED RICE RECIPE |JAMAICAN STYLE

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: water + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories without sacrificing flavor.

red kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans save time and are often less expensive.

Start by boiling the saltfish to reduce saltiness, using about half a pound.

Chop half an onion and some green bell pepper (sweet pepper).

Prepare freshly cut pumpkin and carrot, adding them to a pot with coconut milk and turning on the heat.

Add the pumpkin and carrot to the pot and let them boil.

Add pimento, fresh thyme, chopped onion, green bell pepper, and coconut cream to the pot.

Add water to the pot, but do not add salt due to the saltfish.

Boil until the pumpkin and carrot are tender.

Add a tablespoon of garlic powder and a tablespoon of complete seasoning for flavor.

Mix all the ingredients in the pot, noting the aromatic smell and color.

Rinse the boiled saltfish, remove scales and bones, and pick to desired size.

Wash the long-grain rice (about 3 pounds) before adding it to the pot.

Add the picked saltfish to the pot with the rice.

Add the aki on top of the mixture.

Add about one tablespoon of butter and let it melt.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to let it steam.

Once the rice is finished steaming, fluff it up and remove the thyme stem and scotch bonnet pepper before serving.
