1 lb. beef stew
1/2 lb. chicken
1/2 lb. pork
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 lg. onions
1 green pepper
2 (6 oz.) cans tomato paste
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 lb. rice

Cut up beef, chicken, and pork into small pieces. Season with half the salt, thyme, cayenne, black pepper, and allow to stand 5 minutes. Heat vegetable oil and brown the meat. Remove pieces. Chop onions and green pepper. Add these, the rest of the seasonings and 1/2 can tomato paste to oil in which the meat is fried. Cover pan and fry for 5 minutes. Return meat to pan; add a little water and simmer. In another pot, bring 3 cups salted water (or as much as needed to cook the rice as on box directions) to a boil and add rice. Add 1 1/2 cans tomato paste and all of the stew mixture to rice. Cook until rice is tender. Stir now and then. Serves 6.
