Cooking White Rice and Fresh Fish Soup: A Nigerian Homestyle Recipe

Hello food lovers! Today, I'm excited to share with you one of Nigeria's beloved dishes: White Rice and Fresh Fish Soup. This hearty and flavorful meal is perfect for any occasion, from family dinners to special gatherings. So, let's dive right into the cooking process!

Ingredients:

For the White Rice:

2 cups of long-grain white rice
4 cups of water
Salt to taste

For the Fresh Fish Soup:

500g fresh fish (tilapia or catfish work well)
2 medium-sized onions, finely chopped
2 scotch bonnet peppers (optional, for extra heat)
1 cup of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 teaspoon of curry powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
cent leaf

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Fish: Clean the fish thoroughly, removing scales and guts. Cut the fish into steaks or fillets, depending on your preference.

Season the fish with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried thyme. Set aside.

Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt.

Stir gently, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

Prepare the Soup Base: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and cent leaf until fragrant and translucent.

Cook until the vegetables are soft and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.

Add Seasonings: Stir and add magic, salt, dried thyme, curry powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serve: Once the fish is cooked through and the flavors have developed, it's time to serve! Scoop some fluffy white rice onto plates and ladle the piping hot fish soup over the rice.
Enjoy: Gather your family and friends around the table and enjoy this delicious Nigerian homestyle meal together.

The combination of tender fish, flavorful soup, and fluffy rice is sure to satisfy everyone's cravings!
