Hello and welcome to Okra Pantry! Liberian Dry Rice is my favorite easy, one pot daily or weekend dish to prepared for my household. In terms of cooking this dish, you can gather the least of ingredients in your pantry.
Liberian Dry Rice is a seasoned finger-licking white rice mixed with kittely (African Eggplant), okra, dry rice spice and a variety of meat, fish or chicken that is served along with the dish. In terms of ingredients, any type of rice can be used such as parboiled, basmati or jasmine rice. So, for this meal, I used white rice because it is delicious and easy to digest and low in fat and fiber making it easy on the stomach.
Also, the kittely can be used fresh, frozen or dried for cooking this easy-one pot. Kittely has some health benefits such as vitamins A and C, which help protect your cells against damage. It’s also high in natural plant chemicals called polyphenols, which may help cells do a better job of processing sugar if you have diabetes. In addition, okra is low in calories but packed full of nutrients. The vitamin C in okra helps support healthy immune function. Okra is also rich in vitamin K, which helps your body clot blood. Fresh or frozen Kittely and okra can be found at a local African food store or farmer’s market.
The Dry Rice Spice is one of our Liberian grocery products in Okra Pantry shop. Our spice is an authentic Liberian condiment made with seasoned Dried Bunnie, Cayenne Pepper, Beneseed and Kittely which will eliminate all your one-pot problems.
