Introduce the recipe and ingredients for assorted coconut rice.
Season the liver with chopped onions, all-purpose seasoning, beef seasoning, and salt.
Add about half a cup of water to the liver, cover, and steam for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, add an extra half cup of water to the liver and cover for an additional 10 minutes to ensure tenderness.
Blend the fresh coconut to extract coconut milk and set it aside.
In a pot, add a little oil and sauté chopped onions and curry powder for about 2 minutes.
Add all-purpose seasoning, beef seasoning, and garlic granules, and sauté for another minute.
Pour in the broth from steaming the liver and allow it to simmer for about a minute.
Add washed rice to the pot and stir to combine with the broth and seasonings.
Add the fresh coconut milk to the rice mixture and stir well, tasting for salt and adjusting as needed.
Cover the pot and cook on low to medium heat for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Cut the cooked liver into smaller pieces or chunks.
In a separate pot, heat oil and fry the liver until golden brown, or use an air fryer or oven.
Check the rice after 20 minutes; if done, sauté for an additional 2 to 5 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In another pot, heat oil and sauté chopped red onions for about 2 minutes.
Add the remaining chopped vegetables and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, seasoning as desired.
Add red kidney beans and fresh garlic to the vegetables and stir to combine.
Add the fried liver to the vegetable mixture and simmer for about 2 minutes.
Combine the vegetable and liver mixture with the cooked rice, stirring well to incorporate all ingredients.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and sauté for another 2 minutes before serving.
