absolutely delicious!
The dish is a staple of West African cuisine,
particularly that of Ghana, Nigeria,
Senegal, and Gambia often eaten and enjoyed during holidays, weddings,
birthdays, and other special events.
It is a very versatile dish,
and it is usually made from scratch using rice, tomatoes, pimento
peppers, tomato paste, scotch bonnet, onions, salt, and other spices.
This
recipe for jollof rice can be customized in many ways to suit your
tastes and preferences, you could add any of your favorite vegetables
(diced carrots, green beans, sweet peas, or sweet corn). It can be
enjoyed with chicken, beef, lamb meat, goat meat, or fish. I love
pairing mine with some fried Plantains, coleslaw, and baked
chicken!
