Rinse Ofada rice thoroughly, about 10 times, until the water runs clear.

In a pot, boil water on medium to low heat.

Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water immediately.

After the first boil, pour out the water and rinse the rice again to remove any smell.

Return the rice to the pot of boiling water, add salt and a little oil to prevent sticking and add shine.

Cook the rice for 15-20 minutes until soft, then drain in a colander.

To prepare the sauce, blend cayenne pepper, scotch bonnet peppers, red bell pepper, and onions until slightly chunky.

Boil cow organs (intestines, liver, heart) and goat meat in a pot with water, salt, and seasoning powder until cooked.

Combine the cooked proteins with the blended pepper mixture and simmer.
