Jollof Rice

Jollof rice is a popular West African dish known for its vibrant flavour and beautiful red colour, typically achieved with tomatoes, peppers, and spices. It often features rice cooked in a rich tomato sauce along with onions and various seasonings.

Jollof rice is commonly served with fried plantains, grilled chicken, or fish, and each country has its own unique twist on the recipe. Whether it’s the Ghanaian version, which some say is the best, or the Nigerian style, known for its smoky flavour, there’s a lot of love (and rivalry!) around this dish. Have you tried making it yourself, or do you have a favourite way to enjoy it?
