The Recipe:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups long-grain rice

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 2 tomatoes, diced

- 1 red bell pepper, diced

- 1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)

- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, green beans)

- 400g fish or seafood (such as tilapia or shrimp)

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 2 teaspoons thyme

- 2 bay leaves

- 1 teaspoon curry powder

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, and mixed vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.

4. Add the fish or seafood to the pot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

5. Mix in the thyme, bay leaves, curry powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the ingredients evenly.

6. Add the rinsed rice to the pot and gently stir to combine it with the other ingredients.

7. Pour in enough water to cover the rice, usually about 3 cups. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and cooked through.

8. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and remove the bay leaves.

9. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness and aroma.

10. Serve hot and enjoy the explosion of flavours in every delicious bite!
