Assalamu Alaikum everyone. Like every time I am going to explore the Global Cuisine through a new course. Which will further accelerate my knowledge exploration. This week's Steemit Learning Challenge Season 23 Week#5 is the main attraction of Venezuelan Cuisine.
What is new for you from the course, any spice or cooking technique or anything that you want to share?
We learn different spices or cooking techniques through each cuisine. Each has different characteristics that make one taste different from the other. I have gained knowledge about spices from this course. The cooking technique of the recipe shown in the course is the same as how chicken meat is cooked with vegetable rice in our country. However, the recipe shown in the course as Venezuelan Cuisine, depending on the spice, has used some spices that I have not used before. These were new for me. However, I can learn about Venezuelan Cuisine with the help of this course and also learn about the types of spices used in the Rice with chicken and vegetables recipe.
Make the given recipe or any recipe that you like from Venezuela cuisine step by step in detail with pictures. Include your name tag with date in final presentationof recipe.
I will show you the recipe that is presented in the course given from Venezuelan food. This time, I will present the recipe called Rice with chicken and vegetables as Venezuelan cuisine step by step according to the instructions of the course. First, for your convenience, I have given below the ingredients of the Rice with chicken and vegetables recipe along with its measurements. Then I will show you the steps of preparation.

Final Presentation :
Is your local cousin has any food that resembles with the shared recipe?
I think the recipe for fried rice is similar to my local cuisine. Because in our country also we make fried rice in the same way at home. However, in this recipe of Venezuelan cuisine, some additional spices are used that are not usually used in the preparation of fried rice in our country. Such as Oregano, Thyme and Rosemary. However, through this course, I learned that adding these spices to food seems to increase the taste of the food. Other than that all the cooking techniques seem to be the same to me. Rice with chicken and vegetables I have made a lot of food at home. So it did not seem that difficult to make it for me. Instead, I prepared Rice with chicken and vegetables in Venezuelan style and enjoyed the meal with the whole family.
Which flavour or spice do you like from Venezuelan cuisine ?
The taste of Venezuelan food and the spices of their food are very delicious. As in the chicken and vegetable rice recipe given in the course, various types of spices have been used. But out of these, the taste of cumin is quite favorite for me. I usually use cumin powder in every meat dishes in my home. Which enhances the taste of my food many times more. In addition, I have seen my Venezuelan friends on the Steemit platform eating fried bananas in their recipe contents. I like the taste of the fried banana recipe quite a bit. I have tried it several times at my house.
Finally, I would like to say that I am really enjoying this course of Global Food Exploration and every week I get to know about the food of different countries of the world and try all those foods at home according to the course. So I am finishing here as I have completed the tasks of this week's course. But before I go I would like to invite some of my Steemian friends to participate in this course. Hope everyone will like it like me. I would like to invite my friends @wirngo, @hotspotitaly, @jyoti-thelight to participate to participate in course.
