Ingredients:
  • 4cups of long grain rice
  • 1 big onion
  • 1 canned tomato paste
  • 4 red bell peppers (tatashe)
  • 2 scotch bonnet pepper ( Ata-rodo)
  • 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon of thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • Seasoning cubes to taste
  • 1kg of meat or chicken
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 fingers of ginger
  • Ground nutmeg to taste

Directions: 
  1. 1
    Parboil your protein choice (meat or chicken) with the spices listed above. Remove from the water and set aside for later use.

  2. 2
    Blend your red bell pepper, scotch bonnet, tomatoes, onions (three-quarter of your big onions), garlic and ginger and put to a boil till a thick paste is formed where there’s little or no water left.

  3. 3
    Fry your protein of choice in oil (I’m using olive oil) till it’s tender and golden brown then set aside. Meanwhile, wash and parboil your rice.

  4. 4
    In a stainless/aluminium pot or saucepan, heat a little of the left-over oil from frying your protein, sauté the rest of your ominous till it’s fragrant and translucent. Add a teaspoon of thyme and curry, white pepper to taste and one finger or a teaspoon of ground ginger alongside ground nutmeg.

  5. 5
    Add your canned tomato paste and stir while frying. Fry till it has lost its acidic/sour taste. Then add the blended tomato-pepper mix and keep stirring while frying. At this point, get your meat/chicken water (stock) and add to the mix. Taste for seasoning and add your salt and/or seasoning cubes if needed.

  6. 6
    Add your parboiled rice to your stew base and stir till all the grains are coated with the stew base. (You can choose to take out part of your stew base for later before adding your rice). Leave to simmer till all the water is absorbed.

  7. 7
    Check for doneness. Cover with a tight lid and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes then stir (let the steam do the rest of the work). Serve with your meat or chicken.

Notes: 
  • Instead of using 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, you can use one table spoon of oil and one table spoon of butter.

How to make Smoky/Party Jollof Rice

The idea behind this jollof recipe is to achieve that "smokey" flavour and taste that comes with party jollof rice cooked with firewood. 

Although, it can be difficult to achieve at home. However, I’m hopeful that with this few tricks, you would be able get that “Party jollof rice” taste without having to cook with firewood.

Serves
6 people

Prep Time
10 Min

Total Time
1H, 55 Min

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups of long-grain rice
  • 3-4 Red bell pepper (Tatashe)
  • 2 Scotch bonnet pepper (Ata-rodo)
  • 3 medium-sized tomatoes
  • 2 sachets of tomato paste
  • 11/2 Tbsp of Cooking oil
  • Beef/chicken stock
  • Butter (optional)
  • 1 large red onions
  • White pepper to taste
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tbsp of Ginger (ground)
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp of Curry powder
  • 1 tbsp of thyme
  • Paprika to taste
  • Seasoning cube(s) to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Other spices like ground nutmeg, black pepper (Adds to your taste but it’s entirely optional).
  • Foil wrapper
Directions: 
  1. 1
    After broiling your red bell pepper (tatashe), scotch bonnet pepper (Ata-rodo), onions, garlic and ginger in the oven; you blend. Then you put into a pot and boil till all the water is absorbed and you’re left with a thick paste.

  2. 2
    Now in this step, a lot of people advise not to parboil the rice but instead to get an easy cook rice as not parboiling allows the rice to spend more time in the stew base absorbing all the flavours, thereby intensifying it. But I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of not parboiling (so for the benefit of those of us that would still like to parboil), I read a tip from Dooney’s kitchen I found useful. You can pre-boil your rice before washing. You make sure all the cloudy water is on top and you’ve achieved that white colour you get from cooked rice...you also want it to be firm. You bring out the rice from the pot and run through cold water. You can then proceed to wash your rice.

  3. 3
    Meanwhile, You get your stainless steel pot and put in your cooking oil (I’m using olive oil, any choice of oil is fine) and butter. Sauté your onions till it’s fragrant and translucent.
  4. 4
    Add your tomato paste and stir while frying. You would want to fry till the oil bubbles through and is seen above the paste.
  5. 5
    Add thyme, curry, paprika, white pepper. Keep stirring while frying ( we would like to get all the spices into the paste). Then, you add your blended tomato mix and a little of your beef/chicken stock (adding in bits is important, we don’t want our stew base to be too watery). After adding the stock, check for seasoning and add your salt, seasoning cube if needed.

  6. 6
    We want our rice to soak up enough of our stew base. So first, take out a little of your stew base from the pot and then add your rice. Stir continuously till all the grains have been coated in the stew (you can add more of your stew base if it’s not enough). Then, add your stock or water to exactly the level of your rice.

  7. 7
    Cover your pot and allow to cook in low to medium heat till all the liquid has been absorbed. This can usually take about 20-30mins. When there’s no liquid left, you add your Stubb’s mesquite liquid smoke in little quantity. This gives an added smoky flavour to your rice. Please, be careful not to go overboard with adding it to your rice.

  8. 8
    Then cover your pot in a foil wrapper and close with a tight lid. Let the steam do the rest of the work. Now, one very efficient way to get that smokey smell and flavour ingrained in your jollof rice is allowing it to burn. So, turn up your heat to the highest and let it cook for about 5-8mins or till you smell that burn. You put off your heat.
  9. 9
    Check for doneness, garnish and serve.

Pro Tips/Notes: 
  • That smokey flavour we get in Party Jollof rice is usually achieved by cooking with firewood but in the absence of that, you can either choose to cook on a stovetop or in an oven.

  • Another way you can infuse that smokey flavour is to tweak the way you prepare your stew base by broiling your peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic and ginger in the oven for about 10-40minutes. (10mins is usually fine) before blending.

  • Make use of a stainless steel pot. It enhances or rather intensifies the flavours of the jollof rice, getting it a step closer to that “Party jollof rice”.

  • A secret ingredient that can be added for that smokiness is Stubb’s mesquite liquid smoke. Another brand is the Figaro mesquite liquid smoke. Would explain more on this in the directions.

  • A couple of ingredients are usually taken for granted when cooking our classic jollof rice but here, do not omit! These ingredients are butter, bay leaves, tomato paste and white pepper.

Serves

Prep Time
5 Min

Total Time
35 Min

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups of any rice of choice (Long grain rice, basmati and even ofada rice is fine)
  • 2 cups of Coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons of Coconut oil
  • 4 Red bell pepper (Tatashe)
  • 2 Scotch bonnet pepper (Ata rodo)
  • 1 large onion
  • 1-2 tomato
  • 1-2 sachets of Gino tomato paste
  • 2 cups of beef/chicken stock
  • Butter (optional)
  • 1 clove of garlic (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon of ginger (grounded)
  • 1 teaspoon of thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Seasoning cube(s) to taste
  • Other spices like white pepper, black pepper, smoked paprika to taste
Directions: 
  1. 1
    Wash your rice thoroughly and parboil with the coconut milk. Let the coconut milk be slightly above the level of the rice. The idea is to cook the rice but should still remain firm because you’re not cooking the rice all through
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, you should have blended your red bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, tomatoes, onions, garlic and ginger and brought to a boil till the water is dried up. The blend mix should be a thick paste.
  3. 3
    Pour coconut oil into a saucepan, add onions and fry till it’s scented and translucent. Then add tomato paste and stir to fry. Add thyme, curry powder, white pepper, bay leaves and keep stirring till the oil floats to the top and the tomato paste has lost its sour, acidic taste. (That’s when you know the tomato paste is fried well).
  4. 4
    Add your blend mix of pepper and tomato to the tomato paste and add your beef/chicken stock. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. When this is done and begins to bubble, you add your parboiled rice into the stew and leave to simmer.
  5. 5
    Simmer for about 10-15mins or when the water is absorbed. Check for doneness and if not done to your satisfaction, place foil paper over the rice and cover tightly. Trapping in the steam would let the rice cook thoroughly and allowing it to slightly burn brings about a caramelisation of the coconut, enhancing the coconut flavour.

Notes: 
  • To get more of the coconut flavour in your coconut jolllof rice, it’s best you extract your coconut milk from scratch yourself. Buying ready made coconut milk is fine as well.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of basmati rice
  • 2-3 pieces of red bell pepper (tatashe)
  • 1-2 Scotch bonnet (Ata Rodo)
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • Tomato paste (optional)
  • Beef/ chicken stock as needed
  • 1 large onions
  • 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
  • 1 Tbsp of butter (optional)
  • Ginger to taste
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Curry powder to taste
  • Thyme to taste
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Seasoning cubes to taste
  • Foil wrapper
  • Other spices like white pepper, ground nutmeg, turmeric, paprika. (They are entirely optional and you’re advised to season to your taste.)
Directions (With Pot):
  1. 1
    Blend your red bell pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, tomatoes, onions and garlic. Pour the purée into a pot and heat until the water has dried up. The idea is to achieve a thick paste.
  2. 2
    Get your rice into a bowl. Put water to a boil and add the boiled water into the bowl. Make sure the hot water touches every grain of the rice then drain.
  3. 3
    Heat cooking oil and butter in a pot. I would be using olive oil (any other choice of oil is fine). Add your sliced onions and sauté till it looks translucent. Add your tomato paste and fry while stirring; you would know the tomato paste is done when the sour, acidic taste is replaced with a sweet taste and the oil floats and bubbles to the top. Pour your blended pepper-tomato mix and keep stirring while frying then add your beef/chicken stock (you don’t have to add everything, add in bits). Add your curry, thyme, bay leaves, ginger etc. Because the stock is already well seasoned, be careful with adding salt and/or seasoning cubes so it’s not too salty. Taste to adjust when necessary.
  4. 4
    Add the rice into your tomato stew and check if there’s need to add stock and/or water. Add any if needed and taste and check for seasoning. The stock/water level should be the same as the rice. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot with foil wrapper and cover tightly. Reduce the heat and steam for about 10-15mins or until the water has dried. Check for doneness and if it remains small for the rice to be done, do not add water. Instead, cover with the foil wrapper and tighten the pot lid. The heat in the pot would steam the rice.
    When it’s done, you can add your garnish to your taste.
Directions (With Oven):
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. 2
    Blend your red bell pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, tomatoes, onions and garlic. Pour the purée into a pot and heat until the water has dried up. The idea is to achieve a thick paste.
  3. 3
    Get your rice into a bowl. Put water to a boil and add the boiled water into the bowl. Make sure the hot water touches every grain of the rice then drain and set aside.
  4. 4
    Heat cooking oil and butter in a pot.. Add in your sliced onions and sauté till it looks translucent. Add your tomato paste and fry while stirring; you would know the tomato paste is done when the sour, acidic taste is replaced with a sweet taste and the oil floats and bubbles to the top. Pour your blended pepper-tomato mix and keep stirring while frying then add your beef/chicken stock (you don’t have to add everything, add in bits). Add your curry, thyme, bay leaves, ginger etc. Because the stock is already well seasoned, be careful with adding salt and/or seasoning cubes so it’s not too salty. Taste to adjust when necessary.
  5. 5
    Transfer rice to a roast pan then pour in your tomato stew/sauce and stir. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  6. 6
    Cover the pan with foil wrapper, place on the lower rack of the oven and cook till all the water has been absorbed.
  7. 7
    Check for doneness and if done, turn off the oven. If not done, still turn off the oven and leave the rice covered in the oven for another five minutes.
  8. 8
    Bring out of the oven. Garnish to your taste and serve.
Note:
  • Unlike the conventional long-grain rice, basmati rice doesn’t need a lot of liquid. It cooks with steam/ heat.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cooking Jollof rice:

Here are the frequently asked questions about cooking jollof rice and their answers:

Do I still need to use tomato paste?

Using either a tomato paste or tomato purée is important to get that rich colour that Jollof rice has. However, it's not not necessary. 

Do I have to boil my tomato purée before frying

You can skip the process of boiling and go straight to frying till the tomato purée loses all that acidity/ sour taste and then you also notice the oil bubbling through.

Is it compulsory to use a beef/chicken stock to cook my Jollof rice?

Using Beef/Chicken Stock is not compulsory. For vegans, using water in place of Beef/Chicken Stock is fine.

Should my rice burn a little to get that smokey flavour?

Burning your jollof rice a little is one of the methods of having adding the smokey flavour into your Jollof rice.  In fact, that method is as old as day and remains effective.
