Jollof Rice Yassa

Traditional recipe for Jollof Rice, popular in West Africa:

Ingredients:

2 cups of long-grain rice

4 fresh tomatoes

2 tablespoons of tomato paste

1 large onion

1 red bell pepper

2 chili peppers (optional)

2 cloves of garlic

4 cups of chicken broth

1 teaspoon of thyme

1 teaspoon of paprika

2 bay leaves

Salt, pepper

Palm oil

Instructions:

Prepare the sauce: Blend the tomatoes, bell pepper, and part of the onion. Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the remaining onion until golden. Add the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes.

Add the spices: Add the blended tomato mixture, chili peppers, thyme, paprika, and bay leaves. Let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes over medium heat until it reduces slightly.

Cook the rice: Rinse the rice to remove excess starch, then add it to the sauce. Mix well to coat each grain of rice in the sauce.

Final cooking: Add the chicken broth, cover, and cook over low heat for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.

Serve: Stir the rice, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot, accompanied by grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
