Jollof Rice Recipe (Nigerian Rice) Authentic Nigerian Jollof Rice with Spicy Tomato Sauce Ingredients: 2 cups long grain parboiled rice 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper 2 large tomatoes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 scotch bonnet pepper (or to taste) 2 cloves garlic 1-inch piece fresh ginger 1 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon curry powder 1 teaspoon paprika 2 bouillon cubes (Maggi or Knorr) 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock Salt to taste 1 bay leaf Optional: sliced onions, peas, or cooked mixed vegetables for garnish Directions: Rinse rice thoroughly and set aside. Blend red bell pepper, tomatoes, scotch bonnet, garlic, and ginger into a smooth paste. In a large pot, heat oil and sauté chopped onions until translucent. Add tomato paste and fry for 2–3 minutes to reduce acidity. Pour in the blended tomato mixture and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces. Season with thyme, curry powder, paprika, bouillon cubes, and salt. Add bay leaf and stir in the rinsed rice, coating it in the sauce. Pour in stock and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 25–30 minutes, checking occasionally and stirring to avoid burning. Once rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed, fluff with a fork. Garnish if desired and serve hot.
