Palm oil? Is it better than vegetable oil for this concoction?

This is native jollof not concoction rice lol, you parboiled the rice, prepared stew, added the parboiled rice to the stew and then added water, that is exactly how jollof is made, it's called concoction rice if you cook everything together in one pot from the beginning

Concoction rice is not always made from scratch. It's prepared from left over stew.

Abi I no get am?

Mehn see oil rice in a different level. I need to upgrade with dis style of gloryhomemaker

This looks really giid .

Normal normal me i like concotion rice

I hate Locust bean, so disgusting, anytime I sense it in food, it triggers gag reflex.

I find it difficult eating Jollof rice and vegetable.

But I enjoy eating white rice and stew with vegetables. It's sweet to me.

Different preferences for different people.
Scent leaf is actually nice in Jollof.

Concoction rice is just a name given to this local palm oil rice. It doesn't mean it's a lesser food or to be cooked in the worst of conditions.
You can make it with whatever you have, whether much or less ingredients.

longifilis:


Seun! Op is making me to feel bad
I can't afford this food for now
Create a special page for this kind people
Restrict me from viewing it
Ha!
I am not a saddist
This is awesome
Enjoy your meal
Show some love to the needy and less privilege around you when you don chop full
You are very rich if you afford this without billing anyone
All hail you

Don't feel bad, that you can't afford it now doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it tomorrow.

It's just a matter of time.

NoToPile:


Read its common among ilaje peeps,and that it's a local seasoning like iru, can you explain a bit seems you know about it.

Not only ilaje people but almost all ondo people use it in preparation of their soups. Although, not for jollof. It is prepared by wrapping a de-shelled mellon seedling in a specific leave and tight fimly. It was then, boiled for hours and left for days to ferment. I've seen a maggot dangling inside one b4. I don't like it though. I think iru too was made following the same process but was made from locust bean.

I'm doing very well, thank you.

So am not the only one washing mine. Good to know it's nutrients are still intact.

Vegetables with plenty locust beans here we go

Is there an alternative for iru? Searched the whole market place but they don't know what iru is. Also, can you use tin tomato in place of fresh tomato?

Good but my wife don arrange this one for me..

Ooh, you can skip the Iru if you can't find it.
Please don't add tin tomatoes, it will alter the native taste. You can make the rice without tomatoes and Iru. It will still be nice.
