Assorted Meat stew and Leaf Rice
This rice popularly called IZOKO and Paper rice in Benin was been hawked in a tray with the cooler of stew in the middle and the wraps of rice surrounding the stew.
The stew doesn't need curry or thyme, the penetration of the scents of the leafs into the rice which is wrapped down long before the stew is cooked is the major attraction here. I guess time and civilisation led to the reduction of women and young girls hawking it in the streets of Benin city, Edo state.
Native rice or selected green peppers are not used as in the case of Ofada rice and sauce presented in same native leaf from the Yorubas.
But thankfully you can easily replicate it, in the comfort of your home. Just wrap your rice down long enough after cooking it...

Easy Rice Cooker Beef Stew (Japanese Style) Easy Rice Cooker Beef Stew (Japanese Style)
A low carb and hearty beef stew made in the rice cooker. I “dried” the beef on kitchen towels before marinading them as I wanted to eliminate the additional step of browning them on the pan. The stew turns out great, no overly gamey smell. Great for meal preps and busy nights! You can also add in potatoes, daikon or any greens.#keto #mealprep #beef #onepot
