👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 3
Add the diced smoked turkey or ham to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly rendered. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- 5
Add the rinsed rice, cumin, turmeric, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and meats.
- 6
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 7
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the green beans. Stir everything together.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Avoid stirring too much during this time to allow the rice to steam properly.

Once cooked, let the Moksi Alesi rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork and serving.
💡 نصائح احترافية
- ✓For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or a finely chopped madame jeanette pepper.
- ✓Ensure the rice is well-rinsed to remove excess starch, which can make the dish gummy.
- ✓Don't lift the lid too often while the rice is steaming, as this releases heat and moisture.
