Instructions to make Nigerian jollof of rice:
- Parboil the beef (or any meat of your choice) with the spices listed above. I like to use lots of them so as to end up with a very tasty beef. And then prepare the main food with the meat stock (meat water).
- Add water so that more than half of the entire beef is submerged, then add 2 seasoning cubes, teaspoon of beef seasoning spice, diced onions, one tea spoon of salt and a teaspoon each of curry/thyme.
- Peel of the outer back of the ginger/garlic, pound or grind.
- Parboil the rice the normal way, boil about 7 cups of water in a pot, add the four cups of rice and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Then pour out and wash thoroughly with clean water then set aside in a bowl or plastic sieve
- Pick out the parboiled tasty beef and deep fry, this wouldn’t take more than 10 minutes.
- Once you are done with frying the beef, reduce the oil to 250ml (1 cup) just add the remaining diced onions, stir for 1-2 minutes and add the ground tomatoes and pepper and tomato paste.I like to commence cooking jollof rice with the same oil I used in frying the beef, Using a fresh oil is just the same as cooking without the beef stock (meat water)
- Frying the tomatoes would take about 20 minutes. Fry until when you lift a portion with your frying spoon you will notice the oil continues to boil in the spoon. You also notice the tomatoes turning dark
- Once the tomato is well fried, remove half and set aside. add the meat water to the remaining fried tomato in the pot, the ground ginger/garlic, a teaspoon each of curry and thyme, two teaspoons of salt then add 3 cups of water, add another seasoning cube, Stir and taste, it should taste overly spiced.Once the rice is added the taste would balance.
- Then add the rice and cover to cook.
- Add the fried tomatoes you initially removed, (I do this so my rice doesn’t start burning before it is properly cooked.
- Cook till its tender,add water bit by bit if its not properly cooked
- Stir and serve with your fried meat
