Rice I believe is one of the most consumed food especially in Nigeria, where it can be prepared with other delicacy depending on how you want it. Rice can be prepared with other delicacy like plantain, beans, egg and other nutritious varieties that can be added regardless of how you want it.
However, what came to my own mind to prepare for the weekend is either jollof rice or fried rice then also prepare salad to it. The jollof rice and fried rice is mainly used in parties, events, ceremonies and the likes which are prepared in such occasion with different varieties added to it.

The jollof rice can be prepared in different ways depending on how you want it. No doubt it is a dish made with rice itself and other ingredients like fresh tomatoes, onions, fresh pepper, scotch bonnet peppers, salt, and seasoning.

This is another dish that came to my mind to prepare for the weekend which is also rice but prepared in another way with different varieties attached to it. The fried is also prepared in occasions too with the fried rice and sometimes served together depending on how you want it and the meal is also delicious but has more ingredients than the jollof rice.
The rice requires ingredients like carrots, green beans, sweet corn, green pepper, onions, pepper and seasoning.
Process of preparing the fried rice
To prepare the fried rice, I will have to chop my carrot, cabbage, green pepper and green beans and after that i will parboil my rice until almost tender, then have it put aside.
After I have parboiled my rice to my taste, my frying pan will be needed then put on fire. In the process I will add groundnut oil and my chop onions to the frying pan, then Stir for a minute or two before adding the carrot and green beans together in which I will also stir for another minute as well.
Other ingredients will be added as well with the likes of the green pepper, white pepper, curry with seasoning and salt then I will have to stir fry it for another two to three minutes before adding the rice to mix for another five minutes. After all these is been done the fried rice is ready to serve.

The salad which consists of carbagge, carrots, sweet corn and the likes depending on what you want to add to it will definitely blend when you eat it with either the jollof or fried rice.
I think I would prefer the fried rice to the jollof rice because it has more medicinal ingredients attached to it unlike the jollof rice.
