This recipe is from week nine of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Angola is my ninth stop. This is an Angolan side dish made from rice, coconut milk and papayas. Ingredients:
1 cup rice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups coconut milk |
1/4 cup water |
1 papaya, peeled, de-seeded and finely diced |
Directions:
1. Thin the coconut milk with the water.
2. Add the rice, salt and cinnamon.
3. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is done.
4. Fluff the rice with a fork and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cut and seed the papaya, then finely dice it. Mash half of the dice and keep the other half as-is.
6. Put both the mashed papaya and the diced papaya into the rice and mix, warming over the stove.
