Preparación

    • Cover and marinate in the fridge.
    Paso 1
  2. Build the jollof stew base

    • Blend the tomatoes, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet, half the onion, garlic and ginger into a smooth base.
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a pot and fry the remaining chopped onion until soft.
    • Add the tomato paste and fry until it darkens, then pour in the blended base.
    • Cook the base down slowly, stirring often, until the oil separates and it is thick and glossy.

  3. Cook the jollof rice

    • Stir the curry powder, thyme, bay leaf and salt into the stew base.
    • Add the rinsed rice and stir so every grain is coated.
    • Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a simmer, cover tightly and cook on low until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
