⅔ cup kidney or liver (meat) (cooked and diced)
3 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare the rice.

Boil assorted meat liquid and bay leaf in a pot over medium heat.
Rinse the basmati rice several times until the water is clear.
Then, incorporate the rice into the boiling stock.
Season it, with a stock cube, and leave it to steam until tender.
Make sure to check the rice at regular intervals.
After 15 minutes, check its texture and taste.
Add more water if preferred and leave it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Set it aside.

Fry the rice.

Heat oil in a pan or wok over medium fire. Saute the red onions and scotch bonnet.
Next, add the diced and cooked turkey or other meat or seafood of your choice.
Allow it to fry for about 4 minutes or until the kidney turns slightly brown.
Toss in the diced carrots, garden peas, and chopped asparagus.
Season them with mixed herbs, curry powder, stock cube, and sea salt.

Notes

Purchase and store quality fresh ingredients to make the rice extra tasty.
Pre-cook the rice or use leftovers for cooking.
There are plenty of substitutes you can try for the different ingredients.
The rice should be cooked before stir-frying it, so you’ll find it easier to fry it with the kidney or liver (meat) and vegetables.
