“Recipe of the Day, Week No: 46: (Spicy Jollof Rice)”

Hi chefs. Today I'll be showing you how I made this spicy Jollof Rice.
Jollof rice is a meal enjoyed by Africans. It is often spicy and garnished with spices and leaves to enhance the taste and flavour.

Ingredients

Rice (2cups)
Tomato paste (I tin tomato)
Crayfish
Prawns
Fresh pepper
Beef flavor (optional)
Curry leaves
Fish, beef or chicken(any of those)
Onions (a bulb or two)

Preparation

Step 1: Wash raw rice and parboil it.

Prepare items, slice onions, pound crayfish, and slice fresh peppers.

Step 2: Put tomato paste in a bowl and add some water to make it less thick.
Wash the fish or beef, season it and keep the stock aside. I decided it add these prawns to make the rice more delicious

Step 3: Slice curry leaves and keep aside.
I also used curry leaves instead of the actual curry found in the grocery store because the fresh curry leaves are much healthier. The aroma of these curry leaves will grace your kitchen completely☺️

Step 4: Fry onions, pepper, seasoning cubes, spices and tomato paste with vegetable oil or palm oil, make sure the pot is covered. Then after 2 minutes add water and add the parboiled rice into the mixture.

Step 5: Add salt to taste, beef seasoning and all the spices prepared.
Leave to boil for some minutes. When the rice is soft and water is dried up, I normally add onions last so the flavour is found in the rice..you can choose to do so too.

Spicy Jollof Rice is ready.
The meal was really delicious. Would you love to try this recipe?
