Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Base: In a blender, combine tomatoes, bell peppers, scotch bonnet, and one onion. Blend until completely smooth.
- 2
Fry the Paste: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Sauté the remaining diced onion until translucent, then stir in tomato paste and fry for 5 minutes to remove its sourness.
- 3
Simmer Sauce: Pour the blended mixture into the pot along with thyme, curry powder, and salt. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until it reduces and the oil rises to the surface.
- 4
Incorporate Rice: Thoroughly wash the parboiled rice until the water runs clear. Stir the rice into the sauce and pour in the meat broth (the liquid should be level with the rice).
- 5
Steam: Cover the pot tightly with foil, then the lid, trapping all steam. Cook on very low heat for 25-30 minutes until the grains are tender. Allow the bottom to slightly scorch for an authentic smoky flavor.
