No one knows the exact point of origin for this fantastic meatless stew. As
entire tribes and families from different regions of Africa were forced on
a journey to the New World, old recipes with gathered or grown ingredients
from respective homelands transformed into new concoctions containing
common foods found in the Americas.
Prepare this tasty stew tonight as a much updated version of a traditional
African recipe as our salute to Black History Month continues at
Recipe-a-Day.com.
In a large cooking pot over medium heat warm oil and saute onion, garlic
and white stems of chard until wilted, about 5-minutes. Add chopped greens
and continue to saute. Add beans or peas, raisins, yams, tomatoes, salt and
pepper. Continue to saute for 3 to 5-minutes. Make a well in the center of
the mixture and add rice to the well. Pat rice down with a wooden spoon
until moist. Cover and cook until rice is complete, about 25-minutes. Check
mixture occasionally and add water 2 Tbs. at a time if rice is dry and
starting to stick during cooking. Add Tabasco sauce to taste and serve.
