Jollof (/dʒəˈlɒf/), or jollof rice, is a rice dish from
West Africa.
The dish is typically made with long-grain rice, tomatoes, chilis,
onions, spices, and sometimes other vegetables and/or meat
in a single pot, although its ingredients and preparation methods
vary across different regions. The dish's origins are traced to Senegal.
Regional variations are a source of competition among the countries
of West Africa, and in particular between Nigeria and Ghana,
over whose version is the best; in the 2010s this developed into
a friendly rivalry known as the "Jollof Wars".
