#Shayansglobalcooking- Week 2 - Belize

28/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Rice and Beans with Stewed Chicken. Week two sounds good and add to this some Plantain and already my mind has wondered to sunny beaches and hot weather.

I really should start to learn what flavours work well and what doesn't. In my mind this was going to be fluffy rice served with some lovely Jerk style chicken. I was in control and could have done this but I decided to follow the online recipes I had found when researching Belizean cuisine.

The ingredients for Belizean Rice and Beans with chicken Stew are below:

  • Rice
  • Red Kidney Beans
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Green pepper
  • Bacon (optional)
  • Coconut Milk
  • Chicken
  • Thyme
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Cayenne
  • Coriander

Home cooking at times doesn't look that great.

The picture looks bad. I did try to make it look good, I even wiped the plate slightly for good presentation, it just didn't work. 
Overall the flavours were missing something. With a stew and pouring in the water there seemed to be something missing. If I made it again it would be with Jerk chicken, this dish needed a kick and punch to elevate it.

Two countries down- many more to go.
