Rice and beans is a popular dish in Nigeria, made by cooking rice and beans together in the same pot. It is usually served with a tomato-based sauce and fried chicken.
To make the sauce, onions, peppers, and tomatoes are sautéed in oil until they are soft and fragrant. Seasonings such as thyme, curry powder, and stock cubes are then added to the mixture to enhance the flavor. The sauce is then simmered for a few minutes until it thickens.
Ponmo, which is cow skin, is a common ingredient in Nigerian cuisine and is usually boiled or fried and added to stews or soups. In this case, it can be added to the tomato-based sauce for added texture and flavor.
Fried chicken is a popular protein in Nigerian cuisine and is often seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs before being fried until crispy.
When serving rice and beans with sauce and ponmo, and fried chicken, the rice and beans are usually cooked together and served as a bed on a plate. The tomato-based sauce is then poured over the rice and beans, and the ponmo is added on top. The fried chicken is served on the side.
