- This is braised jollof rice recipe for up to 200 guests. It is tested and trusted.
I created this technique myself out of one recipe we were thought in college and I have done it several times before bringing it here today.
I used only bell peppers (tatase) crush the bell peppers, slice some fresh tomatoes and onions, set them aside. Measure all other ingredients, wash the rice and start the cooking.
Steps 1; heat the oil
Step 2;add crushed garlic ginger and if you want it spicy, add crushed scotch bonnets or chilli flakes. Fry for few minutes.
Step 3; add tomato puree & fry for few minutes
Step 4: Add all the spices and seasonings
Step 5; Add washed rice
Step 6: fry and mix everything well together
Step 7: Strain in the chicken broth & mix
Step 8; taste for texture & add hot water or more broth that can cook the rice & make it soft
Step 9: taste for more seasoning
Step 10: cover and reduce the heat
Step 11: Check after every 30 minutes depending on the size of the rice & be mixing well together
Step12: check if it is soft to your taste.
To get the real smoky Nigerian jollof rice, you must know how to mix to the bottom & well together and cook on medium heat.
