Easy Jollof Rice
West Africa's smoky party rice — frying the blended tomato and pepper puree until deeply reduced before the rice goes in is what builds the colour and the coveted smoky base.
Ingredients
Instructions
Blend the tomato, pepper and onion into a smooth puree.
Fry the puree in a hot pot until reduced and deep red, stirring occasionally so it does not catch.
Add rice and stock, stir to combine.
Cover and simmer on low heat 30-35 minutes until rice is tender and smoky at the base.
