Jollof Rice

• Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a heavy bottomed pan and add your RO’s Jollof paste and 250g of washed and drained parboiled rice.
• Mix thoroughly to ensure every grain is coated with paste.
• Add stock, you will need enough to cover the rice by about an inch. Stir gently and bring to just boiling.
• Reduce heat to simmer, cover the saucepan with foil and/or lid. Cook till the rice is tender, cooking time will depend on the type of rice.
• Check after 10-15 minutes, add a little stock at a time, if necessary. Don’t worry if it catches on the bottom, this will add to the flavour.
• Once rice is cooked, remove lid, season with salt and add butter (optional), fluff and leave to rest.
• Serve with fried plantain and or vegetables.

Tips

• Use easy cook parboiled rice to get the perfect
