I'm really bad at describing things, and doing recipes but I will try
The secret of the taste of jollof rice is in Tatashe and mixed with one or 2 green ones with it.
I blended it with some tomatos, and atarodo pepper as you like it. And them most importantly, tin tomatos.
1. So blend your peppers, tomatos, tatashe. Boil it till all the water in it is dry. Dont let it burn o.
2. Get your pot, pour some vegetable oil (pls don't ask me for measurements, I'm so old school and just gauge my ingredients with my eyes) the day I tried to follow measurement of cococandy about making meat pie, the thing didn't exactly look nice. I was too ashamed to post it, maybe I will after this post. I'm really bad with measurements. Story for another day btw.
3. Put some bay leaves in the hot oil, and let it fry for a minute or so. Then add your chopped onions into the oil too.
4. Add your tin tomatos, and let if fry a little, then add your boiled blended pepper, then add your spices. I added my knorr seasoning (Please add enough, I don't use salt in my jollof, and just thr seasoning), thyme, curry, garlic powder, ginger powder, and even a little nutmeg powder. There's even a jollof rice spice that I use atimes, but not really necessary provided you blend your tomatoes with at least one green pepper/tatashe and the red ones (I'm weird with spices and experiment with them a lot). Please dont ask me the English names of tatashe, atarodo - Bell peppers and habanero
Never forget your tin tomatos, but you should also make sure your blended pepper has enough atarodo as you like it hot.
5. I believ you have you meat stock already (i never cook jollof without my meat stock o), so pour it into the already fried sauce, and let it fry some more.
6. Add your washed rice (I don't parboil my jollof rice, and I don't think you should), and make sure the rice and the sauce- stock water in it are on the same level , or very slightly above it- minimally above it or same level sha
7. Mix immediately with your wooden spoon, as soon as you pour the rice, so that it is well spread in the pot.
8. Cover your pot with aluminium foil before putting the proper cover over the pot.
What jollof needs to cook is the steam, and the aluminium helps provide enough steam to cook it, that's why I said th3 whole sauce should be same level as the jollof, otherwise it gets soggy. Don't mix again with spoon otherwise it will burn. Just mix once when you pour the rice.
Even if its not well cooked, just leave the aluminium foil and cover over it ( If you've turned off the fire because it's burning) the steam generated from the foil covering will cook it well .
9. Everything should be on low heat, especially when you pour in your rice. Dont want it to burn, as jollof can burn like anything.
Ready to chop...
Hope I've not managed to confuse you further..

I really appreciate your swift response. thank you very much, we learn everyday. I'm sure my Jollof will catch a new swag from now on Lol

How many hours did it take to prepare all this?

zaynie:


Enjoy yasef.

BoleAndFish:
How many hours did it take to prepare all this?

1h10 all together.

1. You obviously have to defrost the meat over night. Add whatever spices and sauces then place the meats on small bakibg pans, all in over except for chicken. 30-45munites cooking time

2. Place the pie in table oven and it will also automatically turn off when done. 25-30mintes

1 and 2 are cooking themselves, whilst doing 3&4

3. Veges are all uncooked so you chop and mix. <10 munites all 3

4. Both the chicken and corn on a barbecue stand. <10munites both

Get the sasauge out anytime....I normally wait 10munites then get it out. Thats before doing no.4

jummiefoodie:
Chicken stew

Cooked this because of the legs

Please where's your house so that after church, somebori can come and greet the family. I'll bring Farmfresh yoghurt to wash it all down

BoleAndFish:
Hahahaha this cracked me up. We go do thanksgiving put for church tomorrow.

Who can help with how do I fry groundnut to get that brown colour? E dey always burn. How do those guys that sell in bottle fry theirs? I want to buy in large quantity, fry and be eating small small at home.

The very minute you start frying your groundnut, don't stop stirring abi na turning it. That's the reason yours gets burnt. Sit by the fire and turn it religiously while constantly checking(peeling one or two) if the colour is fine by you. I hope this helps.

ADUKKY:

Okro for dinner, hubby prefers early dinner. He cooked the okro himself.

This is the okro that makes one forget his or her troubles.

booqee:
it looks sweet already, if it taste better, then that must be heavenly. What is it? Egg and what?

It's egg-dodo
Thanks...
