I really wonder if I should say it is native or concoction...When I was single I would cook what was popularly referred to as "concursion rice". I mean everyone had their own version of this emergency meal. Typically it was a low budget, any available ingredient rice mixture. No hard and fast rule to it.
My version was just palm oil, Rice, smoked fish and spices with lots of pepper. It always tasted good and my sister would request I make a batch and we store in the fridge/freezer as an emmergency meal. I was sort of craving that today but I thought, I am married now, I won't serve dear hubby with that old version right..plus I wanted something just a little elevated. This was a hit with dear hubby. Little did I know he had been out and saw something like this in a retail store with a food dept and said he just felt like it and here I am serving him exactly what he wanted without asking. Talk about wife cooking 6th sense...(wink!!!) Enjoy!!!

Steps to make to make "Native/Concoction Rice"

The idea is to reduce the starch content. Wash and Pour in a seive and set aside. You want this cooled down and drained before you use it
2. Wash and cut pomo into about half inch sizes. Put in a small pot add salt and water and boil for about 5 mins. Wash again and set aside. This is to help remove the unpleasant smell and also dislodge any other dirt or sand particles
3. Wash and pour ingredients for blended Tomato/pepper mix into processor. Blend without adding water till finely chopped. If using a blender add just enough water to make blades move. Set aside
4. Chop onions, shred smoked mackrel taking care to properly debone but ensure shreds are a bit sizeable. You want to still be able to see them in the rice when done
5. Prepare the stew base with the same pot you intend using to cook the rice.
   Place pot on low heat. Pour in palm oil and allow to bleach on very low heat. Pour in vegetable oil and turn up heat to medium and allow oil heat up
