Omu tuo — Ghanaian mashed rice

Combine rice, measured water, butter and salt. Bring gently to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat until rice is very soft and liquid absorbed. Check so it does not scorch.

Mash soft rice thoroughly against the pot with a wooden spoon. Transfer into a moistened bowl and swirl to shape a mound. Serve hot as two source portions with a separately prepared soup.
