As much as we have prominent “jollof wars” between Nigerians and Ghanaians, all centered around who makes the best jollof rice, it actually originates somewhere else. Jollof comes from the Senegambia region of West Africa, particularly Senegal. There they call this rice dish thieboudienne or ceebu jen. To make it they use a mixture of rice, onions,...

This step may have come out of food and nutrition or catering lessons, as the result is a beautifully bright garnish, however, it is a very common step in Ghana. Other vegetables that can be used are cabbage, aubergines (eggplant), an...
As previously mentioned, in Senegal, the dish called thieboudienneis the national dish of the country and is considered the origin of jollof rice. Not far away in neighboring Gambia, benachinis the thieboudienne equivalent. When I was growing up, I remember my aunt’s benachin.
