Writing about food makes me a little excited cause anything about food makes me happy . As we all know, as humans food is a basic necessity we can't live without, hence while others find joy and happiness in various things I find mine in food and today I'll be writing about my favorite food .
For some reasons Rice and Tomato stew is my favorite dish, I'll literally climb mountains to have a big full plate of rice and stew especially with protein toppings like fish, chicken, beef,and eggs to some extent other prefer fried plantain , snails ,moi-moi or even cooked beans .
In my hometown, most families have made it a tradition to cook rice and stew every Sunday .many people see rice as a special dish and it is often cooked in parties, family gatherings, occasions like wedding,send forth and even graduation parties ,hence for some reasons I don't know most families cook rice on Sundays,I guess it's to celebrate the Sunday or to celebrate the starting of a new week , anyways back to my favorite food .
Rice and stew is one of West Africa's popular cuisine ,it consists a cooked white rice which has been parboiled and an aromatic stew which consist of tomatoes, peppers ,onions flavored spices and some natural spices like garlic, ginger, scent leaves,curry , thyme and many more depending on the chef.
Most people prefer to be served with chicken and beef but I personally prefer it fried fish ,to me the fish adds a flaky texture and flavour to the dish this makes me able to finish up plates in few minutes .
I personally add vegetables to my stew cause I love the elite combo.
I literally have a thousand reasons why rice and stew is my favorite dish ,for those who don't have idea of how it tastes ,I suggest you try it you'll definitely thank me later😊.
