- 4 red bell-like peppers

- 3 bulbs of garlic
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 Kilo of fried Beef or Chiken

- 3/4 cup Palm Oil /sunflower(Groundnut oil)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme spice or bush pepper.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 heaping teaspoon tomato paste

PREPARATION
- Finely slice the peppers and onions. Make a paste out of the garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt. Dice the tomatoes and set them aside. Soften the onions and peppers in the Palm , Groundnut, sunflower oil over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the pasted garlic, pepper, tomatoes, and dry seasonings and cook for another 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add the tomato paste, cook for another minute or so, then remove from the heat.
- Blend the mixture with a generous 3/4 cup of chicken/ Beef . Add a final teaspoon of salt, and then pour 2 1/2 cups of this mixture back into the pot. Heat the sauce until it is lightly bubbling. Measure out your rice, then add to the pot. The pot should have a tight-fitting lid to retain the heat. Stir gently so that all the rice is coated with the red sauce, then reduce the heat to a very low flame—the lowest possible.
