Try this Nigerian Jollof Rice recipe.

THIS IS HOW I MAKE MY OWN JOLLOFF RICE,

4 CANS TOMATOES
4-5 CHILIES
3 ONIONS
6 CUPS OF WHITE EASY COOK LONG GRAIN RICE
OIL FOR FRYING
2-3 RED PEPER BELLS
STOCK FROM PREVIOSULY COOKED MEAT OR 1 PINT OF MAGGI CUBES AND HOT WATER
SEASONING TO TASTE

BLEND THE TOMATOES AND PEPPER BELLS AND CHILIES TILL SMOOTH, ADD OIL TO A LARGE POT AND WAIT TILL ITS VERY HOT THEN ADD YOUR CHOPPED ONIONS WITH SOME THYME AND PUT THE LID BACK ON AND FRY FRO APROX 3-5 MINS (YOU DONT WANT THE ONIONS TO BROWN AS THEY WILL BE HORRIBLE TO EAT IN URE JOLLOF RICE U WANT THEM VERY SOFT) THEN YOU ADD YOUR TOMATO BLEND AND FRY FOR ABOUT 15 MINS UNTIL ALL WATER HAS LEFT AND IT HAS TURNED INTO TOMATO PUREE , WHILE THIS IS FRYING PUT YOUR RICE TO HALF COOK IN ANOTHER POT THEN RINSE ALL STARCH AWAY WITH COLD WATER ONCE HALF COOKED (DONT OVER COOK RICE OR ULL GET MUSHY RICE AT THE END, ONCE IT HAS HALF COOKED WASH IT THEN PUT BACK INTO A LARGE POT WITH ALL WATER DRAINED AWAY THEN ADD AS MUCH TOMATO PUREE YOU JUST FRIED TO THE RICE ( I USUALLY MAKE ENOUGH TOMATO PUREE FOR THE JOLLOF RICE AND SOME LEFT TO ADD TO BREAKFAST MEALS) SO ADD ABOUT 2 PINTS OF PUREE APPROX JUST ENOUGH TO TURN YOUR UNCOOKED RICE ORANGE/RED IT WILL GET DARKER AS YOU COOK MORE THEN ADD YOUR STOCK FROM PREVIOUS COOKED MEAT OR A PINT OF MADE UP STOCK WATER AND MIX THEN COOK FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR UNTIL THE TOMATOE HAS INFUSED IN THE RICE AND YOU CAN TATSE THE RICE TO SEE IF IT HAS COOKED, I WAS PERSONALLY TOLD YOU SHOULDNT MIX THE JOLLOF RICE WHILE ITS COOKING UNTIL 5 MINUTED BEFORE THE END BUT I ALWAYS MIX MINE BUT ONLY 15MINS INTO COOKING THE RICE AND PUREE MIX AND THEN A COUPLE OF TIMES AT THE END

I ALWAYS GOT JOLLOF RICE WRONG AS I COULDNT GRASP HOW MUCH INGREDIENTS TO ADD AND SEASONING TO TASTE BUT THE MORE YOU COOK IT THE MORE YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY KNOW HOW MUCH OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND IT WILL BE THE EASIEST THING TO MAKE EVENTUALLY YOU JUST NEED PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE INGREDIENTS SO THATS WHY ALL MY MEASURES HERE ARE GUESSWORK AS I DONT MEASURE AND WEIGH I JUST AUTOMATICALLY ADD IT AS I GO ALONG
