Ingredients

 * Rice, washed
 * Salt
 * Bell pepper
 * Tomatoes
 * Red chile peppers
 * Groundnut oil
 * Onion, chopped
 * Water
 * Stock cube
 * Meat or fish

Equipment

 * Stovetop
 * Pots
 * Cooking spoon
 * Sieve
 * Bowl

Procedure

 * 1) Boil the rice in water for about 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a sieve, and rinse to remove excess starch.
 * 2) Return the rice to the pot. Add a little water and a pinch of salt. Let cook on low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, adding more water if necessary. Set aside.
 * 3) Blend the peppers and tomatoes together until smooth. Transfer to a pot, and cook over medium heat to reduce some of the liquid. Remove from the heat.
 * 4) Heat a little groundnut oil in a second pot. Add the onion and fry for 1 minute.
 * 5) Transfer the pepper-tomato mixture to the onions. Cook without stirring over low heat for 10 minutes.
 * 6) Add water, stock cube, salt, and meat. Let boil until the meat is cooked.
 * 7) Serve the stew with the rice.
