List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon seasoning salt
2 teaspoons thyme
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper, divided
1 (3-pound) chicken, cut up
2 pounds stewing or stir-fry beef
1 can (28 ounces) stewed tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato paste
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup (about 1/2 pound) smoked turkey, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup canola or peanut oil, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
6 cups water, divided
2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups shredded green cabbage
1 bag (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables



Recipe





















Sprinkle the seasoning salt, thyme and 1 teaspoon of the black pepper on the chicken and beef. Heat 1 cup of the oil in a large skillet or wok. Brown the chicken and beef in the oil. Set aside.


Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until about half done, approximately 30 minutes.


In a large skillet, saute the cabbage in the remaining two tablespoons of oil. Add the frozen vegetables. Set aside.


Add the stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, the smoked turkey, onion, cayenne pepper and the cabbage mixture to the half-cooked rice.


Add the remaining 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil.


Add the reserved chicken and beef. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer on low until the rice and chicken are cooked, about 45 minutes.


Makes about 8 servings.
