Steps to make Nigerian jollof of rice:
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Peel of the outer back of the ginger/garlic, pound or grind.
  4. 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
  5. Pick out the parboiled tasty beef and deep fry, this wouldn’t take more than 10 minutes.
  6. 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)
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. Then add the rice and cover to cook.
  10. Add the fried tomatoes you initially removed, (I do this so my rice doesn’t start burning before it is properly cooked.
  11. Cook till its tender,add water bit by bit if its not properly cooked
  12. Stir and serve with your fried meat
