TIPS FOR COOKING SIMPLE JOLLOF RICE

• When cooking rice, it is advisable you parboil it first so that you will not end up eating mushy rice or stone. In this case, parboil your rice for about 5 minutes.

• In the process of waiting for your rice to be parboiled, rinse and grind fresh pepper, crayfish, onion, and slice onion and keep aside.

Tip 1: To make your rice have flavor, begin by sauntering your slice of onion. Put oil, on fire then add a slice of onion and allow it to fry for about 2 minutes before you can stir in your tomato paste and fry.

Tip 2: If you have garlic and ginger add them and cook with the tomato paste for about 5 minutes.

Tip 3: Add your blended peppers. At this point, there is no time frame for frying your pepper. You can stop frying the pepper when you notice the sauce has become thick, and the vegetable oil is floating on top of the sauce.

Tip 4: At this point, to make your rice have flavor, add curry powder, thyme, salt, pepper, dry fish, and seasoning cubes. Taste and adjust your seasoning right away if there is a need for you to do so.

Tip 5: Add the parboiled rice and a small quantity of water and stir to mix properly. After you have stirred it, cover the pot and allow it to cook well.
