      Jollof Rice (West Africa)

      Ingredients:

      ● 2 cups long-grain parboiled rice

      ● 1/4 cup vegetable oil

      ● 1 large onion, finely chopped

      ● 3-4 large tomatoes, blended or grated

      ● 1 red bell pepper, blended or grated

      ● 1 green bell pepper, blended or grated

      ● 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

      ● 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

      ● 1 teaspoon thyme

      ● 1 teaspoon curry powder

      ● 2 bay leaves

      ● 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

      ● Salt and pepper to taste

      Instructions:

      Prepare the Rice:

      ● Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

      Prepare the Tomato Base:

      ● Blend or grate the tomatoes, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to create a smooth mixture.

      Cooking the Base:

      ● In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

      ● Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.

      Add Aromatics:

      ● Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

      Tomato Mixture:

      ● Pour in the blended or grated tomato and pepper mixture. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, and the oil begins to separate.

      Spices:

      ● Add thyme, curry powder, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.

      Parboiled Rice:

      ● Add the rinsed parboiled rice to the pot and stir, ensuring the rice is well-coated with the tomato mixture.

      Broth:

      ● Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

      Simmer:

      ● Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

      Check for Doneness:

      ● Occasionally check the rice to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.

      You can add more broth or water if needed.

      Fluff and Serve:

      ● Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Remove the bay leaves.

      Serve:

      ● Serve the Jollof Rice hot, garnished with additional chopped fresh vegetables if desired.

      Jollof Rice is often served with grilled or fried chicken, fish, or other protein sources.

      Enjoy this flavorful and vibrant West African dish!
