moksi-alesi

Suriname · Latin America

Short description: This mixed-rice dish turns a one-pot base into a filling meal with beans, meat or fish, and deep seasoning.
Ingredients: Rice cooked with beans, salted fish, chicken or smoked meat, coconut milk, onion, garlic, celery, and pepper.
Cultural note: The idea is flexible mixing: rice absorbs the flavors of whatever protein, beans, and aromatics are cooked into the pot.
Common misconception: It is not plain rice served beside stew; the rice and seasonings cook together.
