Jollof rice Cooking Suggestion:

As a guide you’ll need: 250g rice (washed thoroughly), Stock, Salt and pepper, Vegetable oil, chopped onion, heavy bottom saucepan with lid, kitchen foil (optional).

In saucepan, fry onion in oil till soft. Add jollof paste and washed rice. Mix thoroughly to coat with paste.
Add stock, you will need enough to cover the rice by about an inch. Mix thoroughly and bring to just boiling.
Mix and reduce heat to simmer, cover with foil and lid and cook till rice is tender, cooking time will depend on type of rice.
Check after 10-15 minutes, add more stock, if necessary, don’t worry if it catches on the bottom, this will add to the flavour.
Once rice is cooked, season to taste. Leave to rest for about 30 minutes. Serve with fried plantain and vegetables.
