- Making This Recipe
Every culture has a rice dish - paella, arroz con pollo, jambalaya, pilaf, etc. But as with most things, origins go back to mother Africa. Perhaps Western Africa's most popular dish, many different versions of jollof rice exist across the region. Jollof rice is a one-pot spicy rice dish common in West African countries like Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana,...
There are literally Jollof rice battles. You can't make jollof without confidence. Actually let me correct myself; you can't make good jollof without confidence.

Jasmine RicePalm Oil - traditional West Africaningredient with distinct flavor and color. Hard to find unless you have a market/grocery store dedicated to or that services an African demographic group. Online...Yellow OnionRed Bell PeppersStep 1: Make the tomato puree
I start with the tomato puree first in order to give it some rest time while I began cooking the rice. Saute the vegetables (onions, garlic, chilis, ginger) in palm oil before adding the tomatoes. I also season the vegetables during the saute step. The heat intensifies their flavor, just don't cook them too long. Add the tomato paste. When adding the paste, be sure to mix everything thoroughly. You want an even distribution of the paste. I like to make my tomato puree by combining the chopped...
Step 2: Cook the rice
Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear vs. the milky white color. Quickly saute the onions and bell peppers, just enough for the onions to become translucent. Add the rice and saute as well with the onions and peppers. Add the water, bay leaf, and more seasoning (teaspoon each of curry and paprika). Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until much of the water has been absorbed. Add the tomato puree and mix well. Let it simmer about 15 minutes covered. After it's done turn off heat...
If it's available to you, use palm oil. It will give the rice a distinct redcolor as well as that African flavor. Palm oil is common in parts of Africa and imparts a reddish color to the dish. Other oils are perfectly suitable as I know palm oil is not readily available at all grocery stores. Parboiled rice is preferred in a lot of recipes because ...
Is Jollof Rice spicy?
It can be, but doesn't have to be. It depends on whether you cook with the seeds and veins of the habanero chilis included. If you do then the amount you include will determine the heat level.
Does Jollof Rice Include Meat?
This recipe does not include meat. As a matter of fact most recipes you'll come across will not also. That's not to say you can't include meat and I can easily see shrimp or chicken working really well in jollof. However, be ware, the jollof purists may come for you lol.
What is Party Rice?
Party rice has a more smoky flavor thanks to the way the rice is prepared. The rice is allowed to "burn" somewhat in the pan while cooking covered.
