This is an Equatorial Guinean restaurant recipe using Guinea fowl. Yet, it remains very similar to other West African one-pot rice dishes such as Jollof Rice.

Ingredients:

500g guineafowl breasts, cut into 3cm strips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
500ml chicken stock (or stock from the guinea fowl bones
200g long-grain rice
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/8 tsp turmeric
400g tin chopped tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, de-seeded and cut into strips
1/2 tin (250g) black-eyed peas (or any beans or peas)

Method:

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the guineafowl strips until they are almost done. Remove the meat and set aside then fry the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion has softened then add the rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the stock, rice, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and turmeric. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 minutes.

Add the tinned tomatoes, bell pepper and beans. Stir, cover, and simmer for 5 more minutes, until the rice is tender. Add the meat, cook for a few minutes to heat the meat then serve.
