My Quick Take on Jollof- Simple and Easy steps

Hi, This is just a quick video that I made whilst making Jollof. I make it in different ways but had to use the ingredients that I had with me..
It can always be tweaked with your spices of choice.
Am not one to put up a long recipe so I hope this short visual guide can explain or help a bit with the making of your Jollof..
One trick I learnt from my father is always make sure your Jollof stew is more than the rice you will add to it, that way it steams it evenly.


Also keep the stirring of the rice to a minimum, only turn when needed on low heat adding sprinkles of water when needed to create some steam to help soften and cook the rice.


As per the video I will only add few steps below.
