Good morning,

Starting your day with a simple cup of hot water speaks to a heavy heart. It’s heartbreaking to think of Racheal Otuoma, who gave her all yet faced so much. May God shield her from the cruelty of stubborn in-laws, for our people can indeed be unkind when one of their own is no longer with us.

May Racheal find peace in rest, free from the pain and struggles she endured. Her strength will not be forgotten.

Rainbow Zucchini Rice Recipe by Pika na Stella and World Of Sunrice – A Burst of Color, Flavor, and Kenyan Pride!

Looking for a wholesome, vibrant, and utterly delicious meal that brings together the best of fresh Kenyan produce? This Rainbow Zucchini Rice is perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor, easy to make, and doesn’t even need a stew! Here's how to whip it up:

Ingredients

3 tbsp oil

1 large red onion (diced)

4 large garlic cloves (minced)

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp cumin powder

½ tsp coriander powder

½ tsp fresh thyme (or dried)

½ tsp fresh rosemary (or dried)

4 medium potatoes (diced)

2 carrots (diced)

½ red, ½ green, and ½ yellow capsicum (hoho, diced)

1 zucchini/courgette (diced)

1 tbsp dhania (fresh coriander, chopped)

½ kg rice (Sunrice or your favorite brand, soaked for 30 minutes)

Water (use 1:1.5 rice-to-water ratio)

Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the Pan:
In a hot pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil.

2. Sauté the Onions:
Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent.

3. Garlic & Aromatics:
Stir in the minced garlic (and ginger paste if you like). Let it cook until fragrant and slightly golden brown.

4. Tomato Base:
Add 1 blended tomato or 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Cook for about a minute.

5. Spices:
Add coriander powder, cumin powder, thyme, and rosemary. Stir to coat the mixture in these warm, earthy spices.

6. Add Veggies:
Toss in the diced potatoes and carrots, followed by the colorful capsicums (hoho). Season with salt and any seasoning of your choice. Cover and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes.

7. Add Rice & Zucchini:
After 5 minutes, add zucchini, green peas, chopped dhania, and the soaked rice. Mix gently to combine.

8. Add Water:
Pour in the water (1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water). Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is perfectly fluffy.

9. Let It Rest:
Turn off the heat and allow the rice to rest for 20 minutes. Trust me, the aroma will be irresistible at this point!

Optional Extra Step for More Flavor:

For an elevated finish, add:

1 tablespoon of melted butter

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

Extra chopped dhania for garnish

Mix gently, cover, and let the flavors absorb for 3 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve as is – no stew needed! Pair with a cold drink, or if you're feeling fancy, add a chicken drumstick on the side.

Try this out and let your kitchen smell like heaven! 😍

ZESTY KENYAN-STYLE MANGO CHICKEN

It's a mango season. Let's be creative 😊

If you love bold, vibrant flavors, this Kenyan-inspired recipe will have your taste buds doing a happy dance! Juicy, spiced chicken meets a sweet and tangy mango glaze for the ultimate fusion of tradition and creativity.

Ingredients for Marinade:

Mixed spice
Paprika
Ginger & garlic paste
1 tsp melted butter
Coriander powder
Salt

Steps:

1. Massage this flavorful marinade into your chicken (don’t skimp on the love!). Let it rest overnight in the fridge—it deserves the beauty sleep.

2. Air-fry for 30 minutes, flipping halfway for that perfect golden crisp.

For the Mango Sauce:

1. Blend 1 ripe mango (bonus points if it’s from a Kenyan farm).

2. Heat 1 tsp butter in a pan, add the mango puree, and stir like your life depends on it.

3. When it bubbles, season with spices of your choice, a splash of soy sauce, and a drizzle of honey. Cook for 3-5 minutes.

The Grand Finale:
Brush your chicken generously with the mango glaze, grill for 10 minutes (5 per side), and let the magic happen.

Pro Tip: Serve with ugali, chapati, fries, rice or some Kenyan-style veggies for an authentic touch.

Try it and let me know—how it goes. I'll be happy to see those photos? How else are you taking advantage of the mango season?

It’s 2024, and we’re not gatekeeping kitchen hacks!
Here’s a FREE tip for bakers: make your own pan release—aka GOOP! 🧑‍🍳✨ Equal parts vegetable oil, shortening, and flour. I used 500g of each ingredient because I bake daily. This amount gives you 1kg of goop.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container, for upto 3 months.
It saves you money (no more pricey sprays) and time (no cutting parchment paper). Perfectly greased pans, every single time.

Try it, love it, and thank me later! 🙌
