No recipe for this one, just yet as it still not quite right. I think there's just a little bit too much liquid so it's making the rice go sticky. Back to the drawing board.

@@louisquartersson4555 well there's a bit more context to it than that. Black/African/Caribbean people are particularly used to seeing non-black content creators making our cultural foods wrong and getting clout for it, especially since a lot of them seem to not put as much effort in to get it right. I don't think anyone should be _mean_ to someone who's genuinely trying their best, but it's okay to respectfully tell the creator that they didn't do the dish justice, and I don't think that jokes count as being mean unless they're obviously mean-spirited.
That is so a comment sweet yes, As Blk American--- if I may say so, I hope he knows he's appreciated. He should do even more African dishes from Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria of course.

Thats where I add my garlic and fresh ginger too all to get the broth. Its the broth that brings the flavor. Add your seasonings at this point too. * once the meat is done and you've got your broth too. You can then take it off the heat. * then wash your rice and pour into the tomato mixture and give it a good stir in low heat. * Then add your meat together with your broth followed by a little water to top it off * let the rice cook in medium heat till all the rice soaks it all up and is soft but not mushy. I didn't add measurements 😅
There are different interpretations of Jollof, Ghanian, Senegalese, Gambian, Nigerian etc. Well done Andy. Just to add to your comment about texture, it’s because you had more sauce for the portion of rice, either reduce the sauce or increase the rice portion and let steam do the rest, other than that all good, the colour is on point👍🏾🙌🏾
You did well … only thing I’ll say is the butter isn’t really needed and you could also cook the rice a bit longer with tin foil covering the pot as one thing we like about jollof rice a bit is this kind of burnt flavor it has when it’s cooked a bit longer but other than that you did well
As a Nigerian and someone who loves to experiment in the kitchen, I’m not a stickler for the method or ingredients but taste. One thing I’d say would bring you closer is the Smokey flavor so cooking over an open fire would earn you some point!!!
That method makes everything better. Would love to hear how his recipe may differ from what you have experienced. It looked good, but I have no idea as to authenticity. Cheers
Why are you so nice and wholesome? I know this is silly but you are so Australian that I feel sorta proud the rest of the world gets to see the quintessential Aussie human

Literally every country/culture/tribe in West Africa claims it as their own. We'll be arguing over it until the heat death of the universe. It's Nigerian, btw.
thieboudien/tchep djen is from senegal, its more or less like nigerian jollof rice, but better, in the whole of west africa each country has its own version! a bit like 'mafe' = peanut stew in ghana, tiguadaigai in mali, sauce arachide in cote divoire, etc etc. the same dishes appear in these countries with different names and different variations!
Thats what makes a great chef learning from mistakes we all aren’t perfect, I liked the first jollof recipe but this one is amazing! Love from Scotland 🤝💙
You know why uncle andy deserves the achievement that he has today? Because god rewards the humble person. Having more people like him the world is surely a better place.
Very few cooks on the social media are open to learning. Your recipes are almost the closest one can get to authentic stuff on the internet. Still you are open to admit when it's not 100% authentic. Huge respect.
This dude deserves an Uncle title for being open to learning new things, listening to his audience and not being afraid to admit where he went wrong. A true chef.
Now THIS is one of the many reasons why I like this dude. Not afraid to say his wrongs and keeps working until he perfects it. I wanna know where do you get your small appliances! I like the one he’s using in this video. I’m fact, I want one!

One of the greatest things about cooking is that you're always gonna be learning something new.
it's very humbling when you learn as a chef (or even a home cook) that there will always be someone who can cook something better than you.
I started cooking at 12. So, I've been cooking for almost 35 years and I'm still learning new recipes and techniques.
@@tcmr5775 Better is veeery subjective when it comes to cooking though.
@@anakelly76512 You cant learn it all in a Lifetime👍

And it's so cool that you are so humble even we Nigerians aren't that humble
As a Nigerian and huge fan of jollof rice, you did a good job ✨
As a Nigerian this looks amazing man
as a Ghanaian I still think Ghana jollof is better
@@jonjon-wv2iv nigeria is better.
Of course it looks good to you. Nigerian jollof is crap😂

Honest as hell and willing to learn. Essentials for a great chef or great any professional.
Kudos Andy!
I’m Nigerian and this made me very happy. Don’t listen to any of the roasts ❤
Jollof is the most underrated food. Miss it so much
I don’t know anything about jollof rice so I never said anything about it but this looks good I wanna try this I love rice too much for my own good😅
Still waiting on the Cantonese family style dinner for Heun Wah please chef!
This man has the persistence of a warrior.
Yes please chef!! I have seen his comment many times!
I really appreciate you making this! Everyone makes their jollof a little differently. This was 👍🏿
I’m Nigerian and I love jollof rice especially with big chicken 🍗 🍚
I'm Nigerian. Gotta hand it to ya, I'm proud of you ❤

Chef Andy, don't stress over it. So many of us Nigerians haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet either.
As a Nigerian who loves jollof rice, I am very impressed with your jollof rice o 😊 na God go bless you o
I've always been under the impression that jollof is one of those things you can tweak to your liking without offending the traditional recipe
Yeah you can, but not on todays internet lol
i bet you 90% of the complainers have never set foot to Nigeria, people just do it because theyve been taugh that thats the "cool thing"

We love a second take! Next time, try Ghanaian jollof rice. It uses basmati rice, so texture is sturdier and has nice crispy bits; plus it’s spicier!
Is is common to use basmati for jollof??. And did he use curry leaves?? I had no idea curry leaf was a common ingredient in Nigerian cooking
@@suvashree100 West Africa has a variety of jollofs across each country! Nigerians use parboiled long-grain rice while Ghanaians use raw basmati rice for starters. I suspect he used a bay leaves, not curry leaves, but it can vary.
Can confirm that Ghanan Jollof is my fav, all
Jollof is good Jollof but I JOLOVE Ghanan.
I had it several times in Ghana, and to me it always seemed more like fried rice? In terms of texture I mean.
Is that the one with fried tomato paste, also one with "sacrificial offering" of few layer of rice on the bottom allowed to be scorched?
As a nigerian I must say I admire your humility and the fact that you're willing to try ❤
This guy is a awesome Chef 👨🍳 I love this channel. He should open his own restaurant !!!!!!!!!
This guy is the goat and i will keep repeating it. Such inspiration.
Love to see a chef perfecting his craft ♥️
I love the desire to try again. Takes a humble, yet open guy to do that!
That's why many different nationalities are proud and happy with this man. He's not a perfect chef but he's open to learn
That looks delicious❤ I wanna eat it rn
This man is serious about his craft! Like an actor "takes notes" to improve his performance, Chef Andy, does the same. ❤
As a Nigerian…I’m absolutely proud of you.. Good Job 👨🍳
Always so so proud of you Andy!!! 👑
This man can cook anythingv
I'm Nigerian and I absolutely adore Chef Andy's work... But this technique with our Jollof Rice seems to have a twist😂
Indeed hahah. I don't usually add more onions or tomatoes to my jollof once it's done.
Offer your advice my friends, hopefully Chef Andy will read the comments 😊👍
If you are Nigerian do tell us about your way of cooking Jollof
@@soudipchanda2884 my way:
Tomatoes
red bell peppers
red scotch bonnet peppers for heat
Fresh garlic
Red onions
Seasoning mix
Curry, thyme, rosemary.
Beef or any meat choice(the broth is used instead of mostly water)
* Steam or oven bake your Tomatoes, red bell peppers and scotch bonnet for about 10 minutes and blend together
* Get your oil hot and put in your diced red onions and fry for some minutes
* then pour in your blended mix and cook till the mix changes colors from bright red to a thicker consistency.
* add aromatics of your choice
* on a another burner you should have your meat simmering. Thats where I add my garlic and fresh ginger too all to get the broth. Its the broth that brings the flavor. Add your seasonings at this point too.

* Then add your meat together with your broth followed by a little water to top it off
* let the rice cook in medium heat till all the rice soaks it all up and is soft but not mushy.

True, that happened to me when i first try to cook it
This is incredible feedback. Had this issue myself before, im going to do exactly what you said next time!
Ther is also an insane amount of bullion cubes in jollof, regardless of the version, which he didn't put.
Oga madam na Nigerian jollof him talk not Ghanaian jollof or sénégalais jollof. Nigerian
Agree
