Bahamian fire engine/Corn Beef and white Rice

 This is my recipe of a classic dish from The Bahamas, I learned this from my mother. White Rice and Corned Beef or like Bahamians say Fire Engine.


Ingredients
Corned Beef

  • 1 Can of Corn Beef
  • 1 medium potato cubed
  • 1 packet of sazon seasoning with achiote
  • 1 8oz can of tomatoe sauce
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder (or 2 cloves)
  • 1/2tsp oil
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • adobo (to taste)

      White Rice

  • 2 cups of white rice
  • 4 cups of water
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp of oil

  • Directions

  • Corned Beef
  • In a medium saucepan add your corned beef and all ingredients and mix. Cook on medium/low for 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes on low heat setting.

    Serve with white rice or pasta. My siblings loved the shells, but I prefer rice.

    White Rice
    Cook desired amount of rice in a rice cooker or saucepan.
    For 4 servings I use 2 cups rice and 4 cups water. Add salt and oil to water and bring to a rapid boil. Add rice and stir. Bring back to a boil. Once rice is drying (about 3-5 minutes) cover with a tight lid and turn heat low. Cook for 20 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking time. After 20 minutes, stir rice and continue cooking on low heat for another 10 minutes. Rice is done when you taste it and its soft. The food is now done and ready to be served.
