4. Nigerian Jollof Rice

The Nigerian jollof rice which considered as one of the best jollof rice can be made easily with no fuss and less stress if this recipe is followed.

Ingredients

• Parboiled rice - 1 cup
• Onions or Onion powder - 1 small bulb or 1 table spoon
• Fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes paste - 4 small pieces or 1 small tin
• Fresh Pepper or Crushed/powdered red pepper - 1 small piece or 1 teaspoon or whatever you like
• Fresh Garlic or powdered garlic - 1 clove or 1 table spoon
• Fresh ginger or powdered ginger - 1 table spoon of minced ginger or powdered ginger
• Chicken/beef broth - 3/4 to 1.5 cups (depending on the kind of rice)
• Vegetable oil- 7 tablespoons
• Any kind of meat or egg - 0.5 lb or 1
• Bouillon cube - 1 cube
• Curry - 1 teaspoon
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste

Absolutely Optional:

• Dried parsley leaves - 0.5 teaspoon
• Rosemary (my secret weapon) - 0.5 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - a pinch
• Crayfish - 1 teaspoon

Method

• Wash tomatoes, pepper, onions, ginger, and garlic, and blend. If you don't have a blender, chop with a knife. Some people, can't stand chopped ginger. If you don't have a blender, fresh ginger and garlic are very optional. If you blend, you will have to dry, using a stove or electric skillet, until it is a thick paste
• Prepare your meat and broth: Cut your fish/chicken/meat into preferred sizes. Wash and place in a clean pot. Cut onions, and add salt to your taste; you could add curry/thyme if you like (1/2 teaspoon). Chicken and beef will produce water, but you have to add water to fish (just enough to cover fish). Bring to boil, until meat is tender. Beef takes a little longer to cook. (Tip: Check after the first five minutes of boiling, and check every two-three minutes after that, until it's tender enough for you).
• Separate the cooked meat from the liquid (broth). Fry or bake meat.
• Wash rice and boil for 5 minutes. After the time has passed, take it off the stove or remove from skillet. Wash rice again with cold water and let it sit in a bowl or sieve.
• Chop half of a medium onion or a small one, and pour vegetable oil in a pot/skillet/pan
• Heat oil for 2-4 minutes,until oil sizzles around onion. One way to test this, is by throwing a piece of onion into the pot. Please, don't make it too hot.
• Stir the onion for a couple of minutes, and add the chopped or blended pepper and tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of curry and thyme (and any other spices, if you like). Add 1 bouillon cube.
• Stir tomatoes sauce for about 10 minutes. drain out excess oil, if you like. Add the meat broth/stock. If you have a lot of broth, you can add a little bit and keep the rest for later.
• Scoop out half of the sauce. This serves two purposes: helps with mixing with the rice, and helps you control the ingredients in your final product.
• Add the parboiled or uncooked rice to the sauce
• Mix it. Add the rest of the meat stock/broth, and fried tomatoes.
• For the broth, add until rice is just covered (not too much liquid; just above it). Add the rest of the tomatoes sauce, if you want more redness or taste. Add crayfish (1 table spoon).
• Finally, add salt to taste. Stir and taste. Make sure, the sauce taste how you want the rice to taste.
