We love our Shatia with meaty, bold dishes. This our take on a little known recipe of banana flower stalk (thowr) and alligator weed (locally know as malancha or chenchi shaak).

 

about the rice

Shatia is a local red rice variety that retains its bran. We only process it partly, so you get double the nutrients. It also retains its shape after cooking , which lends it a delightful bite, perfect to sop up creamy-meaty sides.
