Village rice, also known as local rice, is a popular Nigerian dish made with locally grown rice and various spices and ingredients. It is often served with roasted chicken and Moimoi, a steamed bean pudding, for a delicious and satisfying meal.
To make village rice, start by washing the rice thoroughly and soaking it in water for about 30 minutes. Then, drain the water and place the rice in a pot with enough water to cover it. Add onions, peppers, and other spices of your choice and let it cook until the rice is tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the roasted chicken by seasoning it with salt, pepper, and any other spices of your choice. Place the chicken in an oven and roast until it is golden brown and fully cooked.
To make Moimoi, blend black-eyed peas or beans with peppers, onions, and other spices to form a smooth paste. Then, place the mixture in small containers or bowls and steam them until they are fully cooked.
Once everything is ready, serve the village rice in a large bowl, topped with the roasted chicken and Moimoi on the side. The combination of the spicy and flavorful rice, tender roasted chicken, and savory Moimoi creates a satisfying and nutritious meal that is perfect for any occasion.
