<p>The Ghanaians like to claim theirs is better, but a taste would make a convert of anyone.</p>
<h3>List of Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>3¾ cups (750g) long grain parboiled rice</li>
<li>2-3 cups of tomato stew</li>
<li>Chicken (whole chicken, drumsticks or chicken breast)</li>
<li>Pepper and salt (to taste)</li>
<li>2 medium onions</li>
<li>3 Knorr cubes</li>
<li>2 teaspoons of thyme</li>
<li>2 teaspoons of curry powder (Nigerian curry powder)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Steps</h3>
<ol>
<li>Prepare the tomato stew.</li>
<li>Wash the chicken and cut it into pieces. Cook with the thyme, Knorr cubes and 2 bulbs of onions (chopped). When done, grill it in an oven. You may also fry it. This is to give it a golden look which is more presentable especially if you have guests for dinner.</li>
<li>Parboil the rice. Rinse the parboiled rice, and leave in a sieve to drain.</li>
<li>Pour the chicken stock and the tomato stew into a pot and leave to boil.</li>
<li>Add the drained parboiled rice, curry powder, salt and pepper to taste. The water level should be the same level of the rice, to ensure that all the water dries up by the time the rice is cooked.</li>
<li>Cover the pot and leave to cook on low to medium heat. The meal is done, when the rice is soft enough, to your taste.</li>
<li>Serve with Peppered Fish, Fried Plantains, Nigerian Moi Moi, Nigerian Salad or Coleslaw.</li>
<li>Enjoy your meal.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Nigerian Tomato Stew</h2>
<article id="stew">
<img src="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/pepper-stew.jpg" alt="A plate of stew" width=300>
<p>My momma once said <q>only a good cook, makes a good stew</q>.</p>
<h3>List of Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>6 large fresh tomatoes</li>
<li>1 small size canned/tinned tomato paste/puree (optional)</li>
<li>2 large onions</li>
<li>1 large red bell pepper/tatashe</li>
<li>2 scotch bonnet peppers/atarodo</li>
<li>1 tablespoon curry powder</li>
<li>1/2 tablespoon dry thyme</li>
<li>2 seasoning cubes, knorr or maggi</li>
<li>Salt, to taste</li>
<li>1/2 to 1 cup vegetable oil</li>
<li>Meat stock</li>
</ul>
<h3>Steps</h3>
<ol>
<li>Precook the tomato blend, to your taste, to get rid of as much of the water as possible</li>
<li>Parboil the meat to generate <q>stock</q>, as you would use it to season the stew</li>
<li>Heat up oil in a medium pot on medium heat; add 1 sliced onion and fry for about 3-5 minutes. Let the onions brown a bit, you don't want them to burn cause it will give your stew a bitter taste</li>
<li>Add and fry tomato paste for 2 - 3 minutes; pour in reduced tomato mixture and fry for about 10 mins before you pour your beef/chicken stock, adding only enough stock to give the consistency you like</li>
<li>Add meat pieces, seasoning cubes, curry, thyme, and some salt</li>
<li>Cook at low-medium heat and stir at short intervals till the oil has completely separated from the tomato blend. Taste the stew to make sure that the raw tomato taste is gone, then turn off the heat</li>

<p>We always say <q>need carbs in a hurry? Very few things cook quicker than fried yams</q></p>
<h3>List of Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>White yams, as much as you can eat.</li>
<li>Vegetable oil.</li>
<li>Salt, to taste.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Steps</h3>
<ol>
<li>Peel and cut the yam tuber into 1 inch cylindrical discs. Make several cuts across the discs to get large chips</li>
<li>Wash the yam chips and place in a bowl</li>
<li>Add a little salt and toss the contents to distribute the salt</li>
<li>Pour some vegetable oil into a frying pan, and heat, to about 170°C</li>
<li>When the oil is heated, add a few yam chips, leaving enough room for flipping the chips</li>
<li>Stir the chips till they have turned golden</li>
<li>Remove the chips and place in paper towels to absorb the oil</li>
<li>Fry the rest of the chips following steps 4 through 6</li>
