Jollof Rice. It is a dish made with rice, tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet peppers, salt, and spices. If it doesn’t have the above mentioned ingredients, then it’s not true Jollof. I make it the way my mum taught me, and I usually call it Nigerian Jollof because of the type of the rice that is used. Nigerians use the long grain rice that has been parboiled. Other versions i.e. Ghanaian Jollof will use basmati or jasmine rice.
1. It is key to use parboiled rice so that you don’t end up with mushy rice in the end.
2. When cooking the tomato stew, you can tell when it is done because the oil will rise to the top. 3. It will be a deep red color and the bitter taste of the tomatoes has been cooked out.
4. Reserve 1/4th of the tomato mixture and add it at the end to help prevent the rice from burning. Also, it gives the rice that beautiful red color we all know and love.
5. Cover the top of the pot with plastic wrap before putting the lid on to help keep all the steam in the pot.
