What’s Cooking: Jollof Rice

Jollof rice with vegetablesI went to a party recently hosted by my two Ghanian friends.  I always make an effort to attend any food gathering they host because they make the BEST jollof rice I have ever had.  I have tried to make their recipe, which came out fine, but I wanted to try a different variation from Nigeria.  Both Ghanaians and Nigerians think they have the best jollof rice recipe.

So I stumbled onto this video by a Nigerian chef.  I will try this for a Labor Day cookout I am going to soon.  I will keep you updated on how it turns out.
