Key Ingredients For Jollof Rice
1. Long Grain Rice: For this recipe, I used Jasmine rice. Other great rice choices for Jollof Rice are Basmati rice or parboiled rice.
2. Tomatoes: A combination of fresh tomatoes and tomato sauce or paste makes excellent Jollof rice. Use Roma tomatoes as they are not as acidic as other kinds of tomatoes. Jollof Rice should be tomatoey but the tomatoes shouldn’t make the rice tangy.
3. Onions: Use onions in Jollof Rice for flavor.
4. Oil: For sautéing onions and making the tomato sauce. Any neutral-tasting oil works here. Oils like light olive oil, vegetable, peanut oil, or canola oil work well in Jollof Rice.
5. Chicken or Beef Stock. This is key in adding flavor to the use. Ideally, the stock used in cooking Jollof Rice should be from cooking the chicken or beef made to go with the rice.
6. Stock Cubes: Also known as bouillon cubes or Maggi, stock cubes are key in adding flavor to Jollof Rice.
7. Garlic and Ginger: The combination of garlic and ginger works wonders in making Jollof Rice tasty. Do not skip it.
