Enjoy the irresistable Jollof Rice
Special Jollof Rice from my kitchen!
Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world,
particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa.The basic
profile for jollof rice includes long-grain parboiled rice, tomatoes and
tomato paste, pepper, vegetable oil, onions, and stock cubes. Most of
the ingredients are cooked in one pot, of which a rich meat stock and a
fried tomato and pepper puree characteristically forms the base.Rice is
then added and left to cook in the liquid. The dish is then served with
the protein of choice and very often with fried plantains, moi moi,
steamed vegetable.Every West African country has at least one variation
of Jollof rice, and it both divides and unites the region. With its
seductive aroma, deep-red colour and spicy flavour, Jollof rice is the
undisputed queen of West African kitchens. It's our beloved culinary
treasure and a dish from our very heart and soul.
