Jollof Rice

A Nigerian delicacy

Jollof Rice is a rice dish from West Africa. Although considerable variation exists, the basic profile for Nigerian jollof rice includes long grain parboiled rice, tomatoes and tomato paste, blended peppers, 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 meat (or fish) of choice and very often with fried plantains, moi moi, steamed vegetables, coleslaw, salad, etc. In the riverine areas of Nigeria where seafood is abundant, this often takes the place of chicken or beef as the protein of choice. Jollof rice is very delicious. Give it a try and you'll surely love it.
