¤ Jollof Rice ¤

I know there are several methods of cooking jollof rice.

Here's one of the methods I've adopted.

Ingredients

- 2 cups Rice

- 4 medium sized Tomatoes

- Stock (beef or chicken)

- 2 large Bell peppers

- 1 Scotch bonnet

- 1 large onion + 1 small for ganishing

- 1/4 cup Vegetable oil

- 2 tbs Margarine

- Spices (curry, thyme)

- 1 Seasoning cube

- Salt

MARY's Method

* Blend the 3 tomatoes, bell peppers, scotch bonnet and 3/4 of the onion.

* Dice the remaining onion. Fry the blended pepper with the oil, salt and diced onion for about 4 minutes in a pot.

* Add water to the sauce. Add the stock, margarine, seasoning, and spices. Bring to boil. Wash your rice, drain and pour into the boiling sauce.

* Once rice is cooked, pour the sliced onion into the pot and allow to simmer for about 4 minutes on low heat. (You can add carrots at this point, if you desire) Your jollof rice is ready.

* Enjoy
