Moksi-alesi

Moksi-alesi (lit. mixed rice) is a Creole dish that is very popular in Suriname. Originally, it was a combination of leftovers, but nowadays it is usually prepared as a rice dish with fish or salted meat. The dish is usually enriched with the addition of tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and sometimes even coconut milk. It can be served with a variety of condiments such as sliced tomatoes, crispy white cabbage, red onions, sliced cucumber, fried plantains, and some hot sauce. The dish is mostly eaten for lunch and it can often be seen at Surinamese birthday parties.
