Ingredients for Making Nigerian Jollof Rice
using this jollof Rice Recipe (for 6 persons)
4 cups of rice
1kg beef
1000ml of Ground Fresh tomatoes (your blender is calibrated, 1000ml = 1 liter)
50ml Ground Fresh peppers
Spices (Curry, Thyme, Delice, Nutmeg, Chicken spice)
3 cubes of knorr of maggi
2 cups of sliced onions
300ml vegetable or groundnut oil
salt to taste.
3 cloves of garlic and 2 finger of ginger
Parboil the beef (or any meat of your choice) with the spices listed above. I like to use lots of them so as to end up with a very tasty beef. And then prepare the main food with the meat stock (meat water).
Add water so that more than half of the entire beef is submerged, then add 2 seasoning cubes, teaspoon of beef seasoning spice, 1 cup of sliced onions, one tea spoon of salt and a teaspoon each of curry/thyme.
Peel of the outer back of the ginger/garlic, pound or grind.
Parboil the rice the normal way, boil about 7 cups of water in a pot, add the four cups of rice and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Then pour out and wash thoroughly with clean water then set aside in a bowl or plastic sieve as you will see in my jollof rice videos below.
How to Make Nigerian jollof Rice using this jollof Rice Recipe
Pick out the parboiled tasty beef and deep fry, this wouldn’t take more
than 10 minutes.
Cooked beef on the left side and the stock on the right side. This beef stock
is a very important in Nigerian cooking.
Or grill your beef. The recipe for grilling is on page 18 of the Ultimate Nigerian Cookbook.
Once you are done with frying
the beef, reduce the oil to 250ml (1 cup) just add the remaining one cup of
sliced onions, stir for 1-2 minutes and add the ground tomatoes. I like to
commence cooking jollof rice with the same oil I used in frying the beef, Using
a fresh oil is just the same as cooking without the beef stock (meat water)
which actually hold over 70 percent of the ingredient that is used in making
most Nigerian foods, the end result is a tasteless meal.
Frying
the tomatoes would take about 30 minutes. Fry until when you lift a portion
with your frying spoon you will notice the oil continues to boil in the spoon.
You also notice the tomatoes turning dark.
Once the tomato is well fried, remove half and set aside. add the meat water to the remaining fried tomato in the pot, the ground ginger/garlic, a teaspoon each of curry and thyme, two teaspoons of salt then add 3 cups of water, 750ml (Please use the recommended cups), add another seasoning cube. Stir and taste, it should taste overly spiced. Don’t worry, once the rice is added the taste would balance.
Then add the rice and cover to cook using this jollof Rice Recipe.
Add the fried tomatoes you initially removed, (I do this so my rice
doesn’t start burning before it is properly cooked.
Then just cook till the rice is soft for consumption, Remember that you can add
water occasionally.
Voila!!!
Turn and serve with the fried meat.
This is just how to make jollof rice, you can serve with the fried meat, salad and maybe a bottle of your favorite drink
