Decided to cook what we call oil rice this morning. It's basically rice cooked with palm oil. This is a very common dish here in Nigeria as it usually easy and cheap to prepare.
You just need to heat your palm oil, add some sliced fresh peppers, onion, cray fish and some fish then mix together with the rice and let it cook. You can also add in spices of your choice to fit your taste. Have you ever tried oil rice before?

@eLdav1s I don't eat rice because one of my older brothers convinced me (at 5 or 6 years old) that mom made rice by cooking maggots. (Maggots are the little grubs that turn into flies)
I can't eat fish because I have an allergic reaction to any type of fish.

Lol i remember when i was told noodles and supergaitt was made from white long worms i refused to eat it for a long time, but later i found out the truth.
Have you ever thought about finally trying some rice dish?
As for your allergies, sorry about that.

Is that spicy?
It looks like Valenciana...
Valenciana is a Filipino sticky rice dish with lots of seafood in it, and the rice's color is yellow.
