I wanted to eat a different Jollof Rice apart from the one I know. So, I searched and came across with Ghanaian Jollof Rice. The ingredients and method tempted me to cook the rice. And the result was great. I enjoyed the Ghanaian Jollof Rice with my Salad. Hope you will try it and enjoy it too. 

Ingredients:

2 cups rice

Cooked fish (as much as you want; you can use beef)

1 cup diced carrots

1 medium bowl blended tomatoes & red bell peppers

A piece of potash 

1 cooking spoon oil

1 large diced onion

1 medium bowl blended onions, ginger & garlic

1 satchet tomato paste

1 cup fish stock (you can use beef stock)

4 dried bay leaves

1 tsp dried rosemary leaves

2-3 stock cubes

Method

 Pour the blended tomatoes & red bell peppers in a medium pot. Add the piece of potash to prevent the tomatoes from been sour. Stir occasionally. 

  Add some oil in the same pot, but you will wash it first. Add the diced onion. Stir fry till almost translucent. Pour the blended onions, ginger & garlic.

Pour the boiled tomatoes and red bell peppers. Stir well. Add the satchet tomato paste. Stir to combine. 

Pour the fish stock, stir. Pour one glass of water and the rice (but wash it first) Put the dried bay leaves in the pot. Add the dried rosemary leaves , stir. Pour 2 more glasses of water, stir just once. Cover the pot and cook till the water is almost absorbed. Add some cooked fish. You can use beef. Add some diced carrots. Cover the pot with a foil paper. Then with a lid. It will enable the rice to cook quickly. 

The Ghanaian Jollof Rice is ready! 

Serve and enjoy!
