Jollof Rice
Jollof rice is a vibrant West African one-pot dish featuring long-grain rice cooked in a seasoned tomato-based sauce with onions, peppers, and spices like thyme and chili. This staple dish derives its signature red-orange hue from tomatoes and often palm oil, while providing complex carbohydrates and micronutrients from its vegetable-rich base. Regional variations may include added proteins like chicken or fish, but the aromatic blend of spices and smoky undertones from traditional cooking methods remain its defining characteristic.
