Ghana Jollof Rice
* 2 cups Water
* 1 broiler chicken, about 3 pounds, cut into 8 pieces
* 2 (14.5 oz each) cans stewed tomatoes
* 2 teaspoons Salt
* 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
* 3/4 cup cooked smoked ham, diced
* 1 cup Uncooked rice
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 3 cups shredded cabbage
* 1/2 pound Fresh green beans, quartered and trimmed, or 1 (10oz) package frozen green beans
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Pour water into a large Dutch oven or other cooking pot. Add the chicken, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in ham, rice, onion, cabbage, green beans, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is fork-tender and the rice is cooked, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8
