This delicious rice could easily be called a pot of heaven — its flavor is outstanding. Below is a clear, streamlined version of the recipe and preparation so you can recreate it at home.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups parboiled rice, cooked. I boiled the rice with two small chicken stock cubes (or one large cube) and 2 teaspoons of curry powder for extra flavor.
2 cups mixed vegetables — a colorful mix such as red cabbage, green beans, carrots, bell peppers, green onions, sweet corn, and peas.
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup vegetable oil
7 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, finely sliced
2 stems parsley, chopped
1 pound (about 0.5 kg) boiled beef liver, sliced or diced
Salt, to taste
Method
1. Prepare the rice: If you haven’t already, cook the parboiled rice using the stock cubes and curry powder for added depth of flavor. Drain and set aside to cool slightly so the grains remain separate.
2. Prep the aromatics and vegetables: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, slice the celery, and chop the parsley. Cut or dice the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
3. Cook the liver: In a large skillet or wok, heat a portion of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef liver pieces and sear until browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove the liver from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté aromatics and vegetables: Add the remaining oil to the pan. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and celery and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp.
5. Combine rice and liver: Add the cooked rice to the pan with the vegetables, breaking up any clumps. Return the cooked liver to the skillet and toss gently to combine so the rice, vegetables, and liver are evenly distributed.
6. Season and finish: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Stir in the chopped parsley and green onions near the end for fresh flavor. Heat through until everything is well combined and hot.
7. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy while warm. This rice pairs well with a simple salad or steamed greens for a complete meal.
