Nigerian Jollof Rice: still from the video

Step 1

Blend the onions, garlic, green bell pepper, yellow chili and ginger with water. Pour over the goat meat and add curry, fusiza, black pepper, thyme, bay leaf and sea salt. Cook until the meat is done.

Step 2

Soak the rice in hot water.

Step 3

Sieve the meat stock and set the meat aside. In a nonstick pot, fry the jollof pepper mix in hot oil until it is well fried.

Step 4

Add the washed rice to the pot with the fried pepper mix, 2 cooking spoons of homemade tomato paste and the sieved meat stock.

Step 5

Add white pepper and nutmeg and stir. Cover and cook on low heat.

Step 6

When the water has reduced, add the sliced onions and tomatoes (seasoned with curry, white pepper and salt) and the optional butter.

Step 7

Cover and let the gentle heat finish cooking the rice. Letting the rice burn slightly at the bottom adds flavour.
