Angwamo: How to Make Oil Rice with Beef in Ghana
Try this delicious and quick oil rice with beef recipe from Ghana. Using coconut oil and beef, this dish is full of flavor and easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of rice
- 200g of beef (preferably tuna beef)
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 4 eggs (for omelette)
- Vegetables (tomatoes, onions, scallions)
- Seasoning cube (optional)
Step 1: Preparing the Beef
Start by heating coconut oil in a pot. Add the chopped onions and stir-fry them for a few minutes until they soften. Now, add the beef to the pot. Fry the beef and onions together until the beef turns golden brown. This process will infuse the onions with the rich, savory flavor of the beef, making your rice even more delicious.
Step 2: Cooking the Rice
While the beef is cooking, wash your rice thoroughly. Add the rice to the pot with the fried beef and onions. Season with salt, but don’t add water just yet. Cover the pot and let the rice absorb the flavors of the beef and onions for a few minutes. Once the rice has soaked up the aroma, add water, ensuring that it covers the rice. Stir everything together and cover the pot, allowing it to cook on medium heat.
Step 3: Frying the Omelette
While the rice is cooking, prepare a simple omelette. Crack four eggs into a bowl, add salt to taste, and whisk. You can also add your choice of vegetables, like tomatoes, onions, and scallions. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the omelette on both sides until it’s golden brown. Set the omelette aside for later.
Step 4: Preparing the Sauce
To make a quick sauce for your rice, blend together some onions, tomatoes, and chili peppers. Season with salt and a seasoning cube if desired. Blend until smooth and pour the mixture into a bowl. This sauce will add a spicy kick to your meal.
Step 5: Final Touches
After about 10 minutes of cooking, check on your rice. It should be almost done by now. Stir the rice gently and cover the pot again, letting it cook on low heat until it’s fully cooked. The coconut oil gives the rice a unique flavor, so be sure to keep it in the recipe. Once the rice is ready, serve it on a plate. Add the omelette, some sliced boiled eggs, tomatoes, and onions on top for extra flavor and texture.
Enjoy Your Meal
Finally, bring out the pepper sauce you prepared earlier and drizzle it over the rice. Enjoy this mouth-watering dish with your loved ones!
