The wolof tribe of the Gambia use to mix their white rice with fried stew as well wit some leaf colouration. Nigerian travelers to the gambia brought the recipe home & many culd nt pronounce the "wolof rice" & inturn 9ja's started calling it "jolof" rice. |

How difficult could it have been to pronounce the "w" sound? "women (jomen?)", "wear (jear?)", "wonder (jonder?)", "winner (jinner?)", " window (jindow?)" I don't get. 1 Like |

I wish I did not see this, interesting as it is. I am sitting next to an annoying Gambian collegue with a smug look on his face. I always thought jolof rice belonged to us. |

Crownvilla: I heard it originated from the Jollof tribe in Gambia.Looking at the OP's post, is there a chance the Gambian tribe is called 'WOLLOF'? |

obowunmi: Thought its Senegal ?! obowunmi: Thought its Senegal ?! Gambia is "inside" Senegal and they have the Wolof people there too. Na colonization break them so. So yea, Gambia/Senegal cause the wolof people are found in both countries. Its actually called ceebu jen rouge (red rice and fish). There is also ceebu jen blanc (the white version). The way it is cooked is totally different from how we make our jollof. They have tons of veggies in them such as carrots, zuchini, garden egg, okra (all cooked in the sauce). The rice is steamed on top of the cooking sauce. When the sauce is ready, they take out the cooked veggies, fish and some of the suave, then add the rice to it and let it cook a lil. then they serve it in a large tray put the fish and veggies in the middle and pour some of the remaining sauce on top (not necessary though) |
