i just want to ask , if after the stew is ready and the rice and water subsequently added to the fried stew, is it necessary for me to stir the rise, so that the stew can go round or perhaps leave as it is?

Don't stir!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will only get burnt faster. Just stir the stew first, then pour the rice, only after stirring the stew.
Don't stir the rice with the stew inside oooooooooooooooo.

500 g (1 lb) lean beef or chicken
Salt and ground white pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
1L (1-3/4 pt) stock or water with 3 crushed stock cubes
3 large onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2-3 chillies (hot peppers), finely chopped
4 large tomatoes, blanched, peeled and blended or mashed
45 g (3 tablespoons) tomato paste
250 g (8 oz) each of assorted chopped vegetables, e.g. carrots, green beans,
mushrooms and capsicums (sweet or bell peppers)
500 g (1 lb) long-grain rice
Parsley or fresh coriander (cilantro) and hard-boiled eggs to garnish

Cut meat or chicken into 5 cm (2 in) cubes or small pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cover and allow to stand for 1-2 hours.

Heat oil in fry-pan and fry the meat or chicken pieces until brown. Remove meat from oil and add to the stock in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Simmer on low heat until meat begins to soften, then remove from heat.

Drain excess oil from fry pan leaving enough oil to fry onions, garlic and chillies (hot peppers) until golden. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, half the combined vegetables and 250 mL (8 fl oz) of stock from the meat mixture. Stir well, adjust seasoning and simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes. Add this vegetable sauce to the meat mixture in the saucepan and simmer gently. Finally, stir in the uncooked, long-grain rice. Adjust the seasoning again, cover and simmer slowly on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Arrange the remaining vegetables on top of the rice and continue to simmer until the rice absorbs all the stock, softens and cooks, and the meat is tender. It may be necessary to sprinkle additional water mix to help the rice cook. If so use small amounts at a time of approximately 250 mL (8 fl oz) lightly salted water.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or fresh coriander (cilantro) and hard-boiled eggs.

Re: Best Way To Prepare A Jollof Rice: How? by Uche2nna(m): 6:27pm On May 22, 2009
I was about to ask that?

Why is that mine burns? angry I have destroyed two pots all in the name of cooking,,,now I just use a rice cooker and make the stew separately,,,,,,

Is low heat all there is to it? undecided
Re: Best Way To Prepare A Jollof Rice: How? by LadyT(f): 6:28pm On May 22, 2009
Yep honest!

grin
Re: Best Way To Prepare A Jollof Rice: How? by Uche2nna(m): 6:31pm On May 22, 2009
Well, I figured that low heat would make the rice stew in liquid for so long that it would have that "bloated, soaked" texture undecided

Maybe , I just suck in making jollof rice

Try Baking it in the oven. it would come out evenly cooked and it sure wont be burned at the bottom like if cooked over flame.

blend tomatoes, red bell peppers, onions, maggi, and 1 can tomato paste together

Heat oil and then pour blended vegetables (lower heat before pouring)

Add rosemary, thyme, curry and bay leaves (2 to 4 leaves)

Add salt to taste

You can let the tomatoes dry a bit or you can just let it get to a rapid boil again before you add the rice (depends on how much tme you have to cook)

Kind of guage your level of water to rice. I use my eye as a gauge (LOL) because I do not like to add water once I have added my rice. If you have to add water then use chicken stock and add a little at a time.

You need to stir jare!

Just make sure the heat is not too high!

I always found not using too many onion made the stew less thick and less likely to burn!

wow, all kinds of ways to cook jollof rice here. I remember back in the days when I was a kid. At the family gatherings we had, I and the other youngsters used to scratch the bottom of the agbari-ojukwu's with our spoons to enjoy the partially burnt jollof rice remnants. I am laughing as I type this post. Jollof rice is really nice. I cant wait to get married in the near future so that my woman can cook this delicious dish for me smiley smiley Cheers.

@redman44
well then go for the right woman. Reading the posts made me see my wife through the eyes of my mind and wondered how I ended up with her. Maybe I should send her here.
Re: Best Way To Prepare A Jollof Rice: How? by Redman44(m): 12:29pm On May 23, 2009
yeah, man, it is good to end up with the right woman. Thanks for the advice. Cheers.

The whole party rice flavour, i think, comes from the fact that for weddings and huge parties, a lot of people cook the rice on firewood, and it gives it that delish aroma, like food when i go to the village tongue, and YUM recipes + pics btw!
