I’m glad it turned out nice! Always good to get positive feedback! Wait o, there is a separate seasoning just for jollof in the UK? Interesting! I would have said basmati rice wouldn’t be the best option, but if it worked for you, that’s good then.

Also, if your taster said it was lovely? Then, that’s all that matters right? ;)

I tried the method of cooking jollof rice and it turned out pretty nice. The stock I had from boiling the meat, I added the jollof seasoning that you can purchase in the UK and added my tomato stew, then added the par boiled rice. The rice that I used was Asli Golden Sella Basmati Rice which is expensive but it turned out great.

I did however still put the rice in the oven to remove the excess water.

Now I used my taster (my 7 year old son) he said the rice was lovely. I know if it was rubbish he will refuse to eat it and the expression on his face with tell me another story. I let the rice cool for a while and still tasted it and it was lovely.

Thanks so much! Tell the Nigerian ones too! Let me know how the turkey stew and beans turn out!

THANK YOU! :) Hope to see more comments from you!

An African store would be your best bet. Are you aware of any near you?
