    Recipe Introduction

    Pearlu Rice is one of the most popular dishes in Liberia. It is a "dinner in a dish" entree and all that is required with it is a green salad such as our Jungle Salad (see page 133). Serve Pearlu Rice in a large bowl, and allow everyone to help themselves. Cut 1 3-lb. CHICKEN in 8 serving pieces.
    Wash, drain, and dry. Spread out and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
    Dip in flour seasoned with SALT, PEPPER, AND PAPRIKA.
    In a 9-inch heavy skillet:
    Brown chicken in 1 cup COOKING OIL, on all sides.
    Transfer to a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot.
    Brown 2 Ibs. HAM (oven ready) cut in 1-inch cubes on all sides, in the same skillet.
    Add to the pot: 1/2 cup ONIONS chopped coarsely
    2 cups CABBAGE chopped coarsely.
    Blend: 2 quarts WATER
    1 6-oz. can TOMATO PASTE
    1 Tbs. SALT
    1/2 tsp. BLACK PEPPER
    few drops TABASCO.
    Add the liquid to the pot.
    Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
    Remove chicken from the pot.
    Add 2 1/2 cups BROWN RICE (uncooked).
    Cook for 45 minutes, adding water if necessary during cooking.
    Return chicken to pot about 5 minutes before ready to serve.
