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,...
The first component of jollof is the actual rice. As we are focusing on Ghanaian jollof rice here, it pays to note that the choice of rice will vary greatly across the different West African regions. Ghanaians are partial to long grain rice such as Thai jasmine or Basmati rice. Nigerians prefer the plump and separated grain effect of par boiled ric...
The second major component in jollof is the tomato stew base. Cooks usually make the stew by frying onions and adding tomato paste or puree to enrich the sauce. Then they add tomatoes, garlic, peppers, and ginger. Once all ingredients are in the pot, they reduce thesauce to a thick and rich oily mixture. We love observing an oil film at the top of ...
Jollof can come with or without meat. But the third component of today’s Ghanaian jollof rice recipe, particular to many Ghanaians, is meat mixed into the rice. Goat, beef, or lamb (ram meat) are common additions. (I love jollof rice with goat meat or beef.) Jollof rice can also be made with chicken or fish. Other modern variations have seen people...
A variety of spices can be used to make this one-pot dish. I find that the choice of meat will determine the direction of spices used. Memories of my mother’s jollof rice are filled with the rich aroma of cloves, which she would always add to her goat or beef jollof rice. Seasonings such as bouillon cubes, chicken spice, or salt may be added, follo...
The final step in Ghanaian jollof rice is stirring in some mixed vegetables such as carrots, green beans, and peas. 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. She would make it with dried salted fish, which had a fermented flavour....
When cooked without meat, jollof is very much a savoury rice dish, comparable to the Portuguese arroz de tomate. I previously mentioned jambalayaas a dish that is similar to jollof rice. It is a dish with West African and French roots. Not far from jambalaya in America’s south, Gullah red riceis almost identical to jollof, with the addition of smok...
