Jollof Rice
The jollof wars between Ghana and Nigeria are joyful but genuinely felt. Ghanaians maintain their tomato-forward version is superior.
The iconic West African rice dish — Ghanaian jollof cooked in a smoky tomato base with scotch bonnet, in a rivalry with Nigeria that has divided the internet.
Ingredients
Method
Blend tomatoes, scotch bonnet and onion. Fry in oil 20 minutes until darkened.
Add tomato purée. Cook 10 minutes. Add stock and seasoning.
Add washed rice. Stir. Cook covered on low heat 30 minutes without lifting lid.
Allow to catch slightly at the bottom — this is the celebrated base of Ghanaian jollof.
The slightly burnt base — called party jollof — is not a mistake, it is the most prized element.
