There’s a reason people fight for party jollof rice at events especially weddings! Everybody wan do take away, why? because home made rice is not the same with party rice. There’s something. Do you know the koko? I’ll show you the koko. This is easy to make and you don’t need plenty senrenren to cook it. You don’t even need firewood! I will warn you in advance to do your cooking with non-stick pans if not prepare to scrub your pot after cooking. Special thanks to my friend Dee who showed me the way…You can choose to read the recipe or watch the video by clicking this link HERE

Ingredients
Tomatoes
Fresh Pepper
Onions
Vegetable Oil
Rice
Peas (optional)
Tatashe
Knorr
Thyme
Curry
Salt
Method
- Blend fresh pepper, tomatoes, tatashe, onions till very smooth and then boil it till it is almost dry, like tomato puree.
- Cook your beef/chicken with your desired spices and fry thereafter
- The vegetable oil used to fry the beef, pour it into your cooking pot, add chopped onions, little knorr seasoning and fry till the onion is soft.
- Add the tomato paste to the hot oil and fry on low heat, add your knorr, thyme, a bit of curry and continue stirring till the ‘stew’ is cooked
- When the sauce is cooked (you can tell because the oil will settle on top the tomato paste), add water plus any stock you have to the paste and mix, enough water to cook the rice. Add knorr.
- Wash the rice and our into the pot, with a wooden spatula, aka omorogun aka tuni garri mix the d rice and ‘stew’ and taste for salt, if it is not enough, add some more. Don’t per boil the rice.
- Cover the pot, increase the heat and let it buuuurn, let it buuuurrrn, let it buuurrrrrn (in Usher’s voice)
- Don’t be worried if the rice is burning, that is the ‘KOKO’!
- Err…don’t sha let it burn too much. Wisdom is principal.
- When the rice is almost cooked, reduce the heat so that it can simmer in the awesomeness of the burnt bottom pot.
- At this point you can add garden peas if you wish…and allow it to steam.
P.S : If you tried this recipe, let me know how it goes.

Hahaha! @ 'let it buuuurn'. Sisi Yemmie you are too much!
Thanks for the recipe, I'll try it this way the next time I cook jollof. 😉
lolol…I can cook party jollof oh,another secret is using the stock,that water from the chicken and meat you cooked to cook the rice and I agree sha,that let it burn is a gbam.
Yea, this is how I cook my jollof rice and it comes out great.
lool @ "let it burn" Don't DON'T DON'T change ur writing style 🙂
I am planning to make J-rice this morning! thanks a lot for sharing the recipe, will let you know how it turns out 😀
Yeah, me too, but I don't let it BURN BURN sha.
Hahhahaha… this is interesting, I actually make every effort to avoid burning my jollof. The secret for me is in the oil mix and alubasa frying (onion). I have to try this burning thingy ooooo. lol.
lol @ let it burn…..stumbled on ur blog somewhere(can't remember where) but i totally love it.im definately goin to try this out soon
lol. this is the way i cook it too but i always parboil…and i let it burn too.lol
Lmao..let it burn baby!!! Nyce , will def try it. I always perboil d rice, will do other wise. Thank you!
Awesome! I tot u have to parboil the rice so it doesnt become sticky..
Wallahi Tallahi, my handsome brother must to marry u oooo
will definitely try this..from my past experiences the bottom part of the rice starts burning when the rice isn't soft 🙁
thanks yemisi

three gbosas for u!!!
Yemmie i thought per boiling is ideal for cooking jollof rice since it makes it easier to cook after mixing with your sause…right?
It is ideal, but if you don't par boil, you will get the party effect 🙂
awwww….thank you so much! x
It doesn't matter if it starts burning from the beginning. If it does, let it burn some more then lower the heat to the minimum and let the steam cook the rice.
Oh yeah! I love positive feedback!
mine doesn't get sticky when I don't perboil too…Just gives it that party consistency 🙂
i have carried a major last on this!!!!! next sunday dey sha!
