"Native/Concoction Rice"
I really wonder if I should say it is native or concoction...When I was single I would cook what was popularly referred to as "concursion rice". I mean everyone had their own version of this emergency meal. Typically it was a low budget, any available ingredient rice mixture. No hard and fast rule to it.
My version was just palm oil, Rice, smoked fish and spices with lots of pepper. It always tasted good and my sister would request I make a batch and we store in the fridge/freezer as an emmergency meal. I was sort of craving that today but I thought, I am married now, I won't serve dear hubby with that old version right..plus I wanted something just a little elevated. This was a hit with dear hubby. Little did I know he had been out and saw something like this in a retail store with a food dept and said he just felt like it and here I am serving him exactly what he wanted without asking. Talk about wife cooking 6th sense...(wink!!!) Enjoy!!!

Chop onions, shred smoked mackrel taking care to properly debone but ensure shreds are a bit sizeable. You want to still be able to see them in the rice when done

Chicken, Spinach Rice Bowl Chicken, Spinach Rice Bowl
Wanted to try something different, yet easy. I just sort of thought this up, based off some other recipes i like.I wanted to use ground chicken, but store bought ground, is usually to fine, and liquid. Plus i wanted to ramp up the flavor a little. It turned out really good. Didn't take too long, and the hardest part is cleaning the food processor!Now i am wondering if this process would work well with Indian, middle Eastern, Mexican, or any variety of other flavors.

Simple Yellow Jasmine Rice & "Peas" Simple Yellow Jasmine Rice & "Peas"
Rice and Peas is a natural accompaniment to Jerk Chicken (which I shared yesterday):https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/5968381-simple-yellow-jasmine-rice-peasand since Jasmine is the default rice in our kitchen, Jasmine Rice and Peas it is. Though it's often made with some kind of red bean or pigeon peas, we had black beans in the cupboard, so I used those.Though turmeric is not a typical ingredient as far as I know, it adds an appealing natural yellow color, a barely detectable flavor in small quantities, and has great health benefits, so I often add turmeric to flavored rice dishes.Many Rice and Peas recipes include thyme, a Scotch Bonnet or Habanero chili, and sometimes even a little bit of allspice, which makes for a delicious standalone rice dish.But for me, in the case of something as hot, spicy and complex in flavor as Jamaican Jerk Chicken, the overall meal is enhanced by a simpler version of Rice and Peas with a mild savory note from a little onion and garlic, and the creamy offset to all that heat from a little bit of coconut milk.If you disagree, it's easy enough to add those herbs and spices back in. :)
