The plantain is an interesting addition. Do you use ripe or green plantain? Thanks for posting your recipe..
This is the recipe I’ve learned for jollof rice from Nigerians in Britain;
oil
3x maggi cubes
1tsp salt
4x chicken breasts
1tsp cayenne pepper
2x plantains
500g easy cook rice
1x onion
1x red pepper
1x can of tomatos
5x scotch bonnets
1tbsp tomato paste
How did you make the tomatoe sauce, please tell exactly which spices you used to season it because I’d like to try it.
And can you tell me what the rice is called that is just yellow and is probably made of broth, served with a piece of chicken. I had it the other day somewhere but I forgot to ask the name of that rice. :-S
A number of countries in Africa have unique ways of cooking ‘Jollof Rice’ and they all call the dish ‘Jollof Rice’?
My calling it something different does not change the fact that there is a traditional Liberian dish named Jollof Rice that is prepared as I have posted. I am sorry you have a problem with Liberian Jollof Rice. But thanks for your comments anyway..
Then please give it another name NOT JOLLOF RICE, it’s misleading. We should have called it its original name CHEP derived from Senegal but because we changed the preparation and ingredients we call it Jollof (Wollof) fried rice is what you were about doing. Jollof is The sauce with meat & others things u want to add always first when dry then add water and the rice allow to simmer on stove or on oven i.e Jollof. Rice has thousand ways of cooking it but the names are different
I will certainly try it. I am always looking for new ways to cook to break the monotony. It sounds good. Thanks much
.
I get your point, but the way we cook it is to season the fish, then when the rice reaches the stage where you put it on the back burner, or reduce the heat, we place the fish on top, so that it is actually ’steaming’ the fish, that way the fish remains intact, since you don’t have to stir, or touch the rice whilst it’s on low heat. Try it sometime!
PEACE!
Cool! We are on the Atlantic and we eat a lot of fish as well. We just don’t put it in Jollof Rice because it breaks up. We use shrimp. Thanks for your comment.
we almost ALWAYS use fish……we are River dwellers by nature, so almost ALL of our dishes consist of fish instead of meat.
Maybe I was unclear. We do not cook FISH in our Jollof Rice in Liberia. We do add shrimp which is also seafood. Liberia has different traditions and foods from Nigeria so to each his own.
Well, I didn’t say no seafood, I said not fish.
Jollof never with seafood…sorry thats another food maybe what you are doing is Spanish Paella. Jollof rice was introduced to Nigeria by Lagosian who took it from Gambia/Senegal rice dish called Chep. It was named Jollof rice to imitate Senegal language Wollof i.e Wollof rice but they later change their own ingrediends and preparation call it Jollof
Cool. Thanks for looking.
it depends WHICH Nigerians are cooking it!
In my place…CALABAR, we most certainly DO use seafood, as well as chicken to cook our jollof rice, that’s standard!
PEACE!!
im gonna try this
awesome! It’s nice because you can put whatever meats you like but no fish.
My paternal DNA is Kru and Kpelle so I must try ths! Thanks!
