This recipe is different from normal jollof rice . The stew is made separately as the first part. The rice, after boiling, is mixed with the stew to form the Jollof rice.
Preparation time ;45 minutes
Serves ; 4
INGREDIENTS
200g turkey or chicken thigs and drumsticks
Ground Chilli peppers 2 or 1 1/2 tbsp chilli or paprika powder
2 Green pepper
2 chopped Onions
Fresh Tomatoes 1
Seasoning powder 1 tsp
2 tbsp Cooking oil
Salt
500 g Long grain rice
plantain, sweet potatoes (fried )
METHOD
Chop the onions into small pieces. Grind the green pepper, onion and tomato in a grinder. Use a little puree tomato if like .
Add ground chilli pepper and salt to the paste and set it aside.
Cut the meat into pieces . Cook the cut pieces in a sauce pan. Add two seasoning and salt to the meat while cooking. This is important, so that the meat is flavoured and tasteful.
Let it cook in plenty of water as the water will be used for the stew later. When the meat is done, take it out of the sauce pan and let the water drain back into the sauce pan.
Marinate the meat pieces with some of the peppered paste, using cooking oil fry them.
Turn round the meat as you fry to avoid burning and to brown up the pieces of turkey. Take all the fried meat out and put it in another pan and keep away .
The next thing is to make the stew. Put the remainder of the paste in a sauce pan and add the water used in cooking the meat. Add also the oil used in frying. Add some more seasoning and boil slowly.
Next, boil your rice. Add a little salt to the boiling rice. Lower the fire and allow the rice to cook slowly.
Stir frequently to avoid burning. Taste to ensure it is well done and tasteful. Allow to simmer until it thickens. That is the stew.
Add the stew to rice and allow to simmer until all the water has dried up.
Serve garnished with fried plantain and fried sweet potatoes.
