INSTRUCTIONS

You can put in as many kinds of meat or vegetables as you like or can
afford into this dish. Shrimp makes an extravagant but wonderful
addition. Use a heavy pot or a large cast iron skillet to discourage
burning. Stirring often is the key to successwith this dish. Use a
large wooden spoon. Cover the pot tightly.  Skin, debone and chop the
chicken into 1 inch square pieces. In a  heavey pot, large enough to
hold everything, brown the chicken in  oil. Add onions and peppers.
Cook over medium heat for 5 to 10  minutes.  Meanwhile, in a separate
skillet, saute the shrimp in a small amount  of oil and precook the
carrots, beans, and peas (or other vegetables  of your choice) until
they are about half done ( 5 minutes or so).  Drain the vegetables and
add to the chicken pot along with the  shrimp, tomatoes, salt, pepper
and thyme. Reduce heat to low and  simmer for 5 minutes.  Combine rice
with tomato paste, which should coat the rice grains  without drowning
them. (In the finished dish, the rice should be  tinted orange, too
much tomato paste will make it red.) Stir the  coated rice to the pot
and continue to simmer, adding water  sparingly, as needed, to avoid
burning. When the meat, rice and  vegetables are tender, the Jollof
Rice is ready to serve. Posted to  EAT-L Digest 25 Aug 96  Date:
