Meaning
A one-pot dish of rice cooked together with meat, vegetables, and full seasoning — often saltfish, chicken, corned beef, or sausage with carrot, gungo peas, scallion, and thyme — so the rice takes up all the flavour as it cooks. Seasoned rice is a quick, economical family meal that stretches a little meat a long way, and every cook has their own version of the pot.
