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!
