@nahnaammy: Do you guys think carrots and chopped veggies belong in jollof rice 👀? Or are you team “leave my jollof alone” 😭 One thing about me? I dey cook scatter when it comes to food. Whether I’m cooking for myself or giving it out, I always make sure I put my all into it. Good food is good food, and everybody deserves to eat something rich, flavorful, and satisfying. A few days ago, we made over 150 portions of smoky jollof rice and ahhhh… it came out so delicious. One thing I do differently is my stew base. I usually don’t add tomatoes because I love my jollof to have that deep smoky pepper taste without the sourness tomatoes can sometimes bring. It also reduces frying time because tomatoes hold a lot of water. The flavor comes out richer, smokier, and cleaner. For the base, I blended: Tatashi, shombo, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers using my @BuchiMix blender and it came out super smooth and effortless . Then I added,Spices, seasoning to taste, salt, thyme, curry, bay leaves, smoky flavoring,special jollof spices and bouillon cubes. To finish it off, I topped it with carrots, green peas, and butter for that rich glossy finish. May Allah continue to give us the means to provide for those in need because people in need deserve good food too.
