Fancied making some jollof rice for dinner and went trawling through the internet for a recipe. Each site I visited had different instructions. I tried to find a recipe on the Jollof rice seasoning jar, all it told me was
'There are as many ways to prepare jollof rice as there are cooks'. So I decided to come up with my own version.
I
sautered chopped red, green and yellow peppers, white and red onions
for a bit and added a generous sprinkling of the Jollof seasoning.
After
blending well chopped tomatoes, I added to pan.
I roughly chopped left
over pork and chicken and added to pan.
Then I added 2 cups of raw rice
and mixed well.
I made up 3 cups stock with chicken cubes added to rice
and poured everything into a large casserole dish.
I cooked this in the
oven.
Halfway through cooking, I added a little frozen peas and carrots.
5 minutes before rice was done, I also added fresh baby plum tomatoes
cut in half.
Served with chicken wings, shredded lettuce with ceasar
dressing, fried onions and garnished with a cucumber fan.
