>“I get confused at the sight of food” That’s who much I love food. For the most part of it I don’t joke with my stomach. I will use my last cedi to make sure I’ve eaten properly. Luckily for me I do know how to prepare some delicacies as I will call them. I was thought how to cook by my mom to which I am very grateful. I know how to boil. Fry, toast and pound. The only types of foods I find hard to prepare are soupy foods. For some reason, I do not have much interest in learning how to prepare such dishes. Today I will be talking about how to prepare Rice and stew. Most people will wonder why I have chosen this dish but for me, it's my favourite for now. This is because I take rice and stew every day so I will say it's my favourite. ### Ingredients used in preparing rice and stew. ------- ### In preparation of rice --------- #####

--------- * Salt * Ginger * Garlic ### How to prepare rice --------- Rice is not a difficult one to prepare. If one is using a rice cooker he has to make sure that the level of rice is the same as the level of the water in the rice cooking and add salt to taste. Leave it in the rice cooker till it's done and you are good to go. When you want to prepare it in silver or pot ;this is where comes the difference. * Make sure you put the water on the fire to boil and add your salt. ![DE0E66BB-531B-437C-B690-C15A070CC838.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJftPZ3i4zGuTiL9hhNhouk5kUkspjHXjrAhfkuXeLJf/DE0E66BB-531B-437C-B690-C15A070CC838.jpeg) [s](https://pxhere.com/en/photo/1207306 ) Let's say you want to prepare one cup of rice, make sure the amount of water is 1 and a half cups. * After the water is boiling pour the rice into the pot and stir. Cover the pot and allow it to cook. ![58B136CD-F923-44EF-991B-3752677278B5.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPzrRMwKR1ZUqdxR8dUqeUcidS2LpmDtE37tAH7GLsBmc/58B136CD-F923-44EF-991B-3752677278B5.jpeg) [s](https://www.flickr.com/photos/jabb/7124358855/in/photostream ) * From time to time make sure you check to see if the water is enough. After the water drains from the rice use a rubber or a clean napkin to cover the rice. * Your rice is ready. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to prepare rice on fire. ### How to prepare the stew. ------ * Pour a little amount of oil into the pot and add your sliced onions. * Fry onions till it's about to get brown. * Add the sliced tomatoes to it and stir for a while. * Add the tomato paste. * Grind or blend the ginger and garlic and add. *Allow your stew to boil for a while. * You can also add mackerel to enrich the taste. ![51CA6966-E595-406B-BDD9-3BA4C3657B5F.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmREhmoezwpZW6yLouvuK6wKsW77XJUEQiv9hzG6uVJm5a/51CA6966-E595-406B-BDD9-3BA4C3657B5F.jpeg) [s](http://www.evseats.com/nigerian-chicken-stew/ ) Your food is ready to be served.
