English man here but my mrs of 7 years is from Zimbabwe, I have developed an obsession for Jallof rice so rather than begging her sister to do it all the time im learning myself this video should do the trick 🙌🏻🙌🏻
As a white guy I always remembered going round my Nigerian and Ghanaians friends house and their Mum would always give me this rice lol. Man I need to make this again. Thanks for the recipe!!!!
Swiss woman cooked it for her nigerian friends! They were very surprised. It was very delicious. I served it with fried chicken and fried plantain and salad. THANKS for this amazing recipe! :-)
I tried this recipe just 20 minutes ago and its still steaming up....had to find my foil. I know, just know, by the smell that it's gonna be the bomb.com! It smells like Accra in here on a Sunday afternoon after church! Amazing! Thank for the detailed instruction video ohhh!
Lol. Really you guys in Puerto Rico fight over it? Interesting. In Trinidad, we have a dish called pelau and the rice at the bottom is called 'bun bun' and we also fight over it. Lol
Lol, seem like the rice at the bottom is a favorite in many places! In Haiti, we call it "graton". I've never had to fight for it, one of the positives of being the only child, lol.
This was an awesome tutorial! My rice was delicious and my family loved it! My mom was so impressed lol. We didn't have chicken stock at the time and by mom said that it was the only thing that was missing. I'm going to make it again today :) Edit: IT TASTED SOOO GOOD THIS TIME!!!!
This was such an easy process to follow with minimum ingredients that are not hard to find! Just tried this (with a larger portion) but it came out PERFECT and it smells so goooooood!!!! Thank you very much Enny!!!
One of my good friends from Lagos was here in Texas for some years and introduced me to this rice and I fell in LOVE but she never taught me how to make it and ended up moving to California a few years back, I haven’t had jollof since, until today… I used your recipe, it came out AMAZING. My Nigerian friends would be so proud of their white Wahala boy 😂 thanks for this video! Delicious!
Thanks very much, just finished executing your recipe and it came out 100% perfect. Moreover, It is the first time I'm cooking jollof rice. Especially useful was your measurements which I was able to multiply by 4 and it still came out good. Thanks once again.
Yaaaasssss hunni ! I’m West Indian from Montserrat 🇲🇸 I think it’s so important we learn anything from our motherland.! I used the exact recipe measurements this is tasty and perfect my siblings went for seconds! Thx sistah
Thanks for such an easy to follow recipe! I have made it twice now and shared your recipe. My colleagues at work loved it. Well done! You're an excellent cook and your instructions are very clear.
Dear Enny, my name is George, I live in Scotland and have lived here for 3 years. I used to live in London an had a Nigerian next door neighbour who used to give me and my Daughter Jollof Rice when she cooked it, we both loved it. For 3 years we didn't have any, so one day my Daughter (Ronny) and I decided to give it a go and looked for You Tube vids. We followed your instructions to the T and after the first failed attempt (as we didn't used Tollyboy rice, So important to use Tollyboy) we made the perfect Jollof rice, I sent the video to my Nigerian ex neighbour and she was so happy we could now make it. You have an amazing way of demonstrating cooking it, thanks so much we are so happy to be able to make our lovely Jollof rice again. So well done, I will be looking at some other of your recipes. Hugs from Me and Ronny xxx
Just made this for myself and my nephew! I've always loved Jollof but had no idea how to cook it. Been thinking of trying it for a few weeks now and decided to give it a go today! So glad i did, and so glad i used this recipe! tasted exactly as i was hoping it would :D :D Very happy person here, thank you Enny, God bless!
Yes! I love Jollof rice. Glad I found you on here. This is great and easy looking recipe that I am definitely going to try. You broke it down well and gave great tips for helping to not make it mushy or soggy. This has been my downfall too many times. Thanks for sharing.
Sis I just wanna say I tried it and my jellof has never been so flavourful!! God bless you honey - more blessings, more favour, more handbags and designer shoes! 🤣🤣🤣Amen 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I made this in my Instapot and I had great results. I used the saute function for the onion, oil and tomato paste. I threw in the chicken stock and washed the rice. Pressure cooking needs moisture, so you don't have to reduce the sauce mixture before adding the rice. I cooked it on the rice function for 10 min. I flaked it with fork thereafter and all I just left the top off and flaked it w/ a fork to achieve the desired dryness. The Instapot will stay warm even when it is done cooking b/c it takes a long time for it to cool down and it will hold heat enough to take any excess moisture from the cooked rice.
First time viewer. You were reccomended by a work colleague. I love jollof. Now I can make my own as your video is simple and easy to follow. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻👍🥰
Thanks for being a very good teacher am a ugandan but i love to know how to cook Nigerian food coz my man is a Nigerian thanks baby you're a very good teacher
Absolutely helpful I’ve literally just left my rice with the lid on no more foil as the rice isn’t hard it’s soft ! Your soooo helpful 💜 awaiting more foodie videos 🤩
Hey sis , my first time making jollof rice for my sisters birthday , and it was a hit. The entire pot was gone. I love the recipe it’s not mushy and it’s so flavorful. Thank you !
In Canada the long red bell pepper is called "shepperd peppers" they are a wee bit sweeter than the standard red bell pepper.... my neighbors make this and it smells amazing...I want to try it myself BUT without the hot peppers... lol I'm a wimp for heat... but otherwise I'm really looking forward to making this Thanks for the example
Thanks for sharing this. Your recipe makes it look so simple to make but honestly, making jollof rice is one of my nightmares lolz. I got a question though; You didn’t mention parboiling the rice, so could I parboil it?
Lol thanks 😊. For this recipe I dont parboil the rice. I might share another recipe video soon to show another way to make Jollof rice by parboiling the rice. ❤
Thanks so much. This video really helped me out today. I cooked 3 kilo for just 4 of us and it is only remaining little inside the pot. I followed every step and I got it just right. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And He wants you to be saved. John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Just finished making this and wow! Such a great recipe! Thank you soo much! I only added 1 scotch bonnet which I’m glad I did as it’s really spicy for me with just the 1 lol. Amazing recipe! X
Hello from Texas. My husband is from Zambia and when we married a wonderful woman cooked jollof rice for our wedding buffet. It was a hit! I tried this today and ended up with a burnt bottom. Not sure where I went wrong.... Flavor was still good. I need some more practice
Am not surprised that our sisters from 🇬🇭🇳🇬🇬🇳🇸🇱are the ones who cook a lot of jollof. Jollof is belly full meal of our roots and realities. I love it with jerk chicken and fried plantains.
At the grocery store. Can you please list the ingredients in the comments section too for easy reference (just cause it's hard to sift through the 10min video for the ingredients)
I'm 13 and my mom is Nigerian. I made this to please her when she came home from work and she loved it. She was so happy !
Awww thats so sweet of you to do that for her. I'm glad she loved it🤗🤗
It also means YOU are Nigerian. Not just your mum
Sony Headphones what if she’s adopted
MspByVanessa Your story made me smile...bless

I love this recipe. I’m 12 and I’m trying to learn more recipes, my mom loved it
You are the only person I’ve seen make jollof rice the same as my mom. Frying that tomato paste is a MUST

Omg I cooked these yesterday for valentines day dinner. My wife lovedthe rice a lot. Thank you so much for such an easy but delicious recipe.
Awwww I'm glad. Thank you☺
In Puerto Rico, we call that crispy rice at the bottom “pegao” and it’s a fight to see who gets it!
Lol. Really you guys in Puerto Rico fight over it? Interesting. In Trinidad, we have a dish called pelau and the rice at the bottom is called 'bun bun' and we also fight over it. Lol
Lol, seem like the rice at the bottom is a favorite in many places! In Haiti, we call it "graton". I've never had to fight for it, one of the positives of being the only child, lol.
@@jenelleburton1903
We call it "bun bun" in Grenada too😂😋
In Suriname we call it "Brong Brong" and they also sell the sundried ones in stores
@@jenevabetrouw8859 So how does the sundried one work? Do you sun dry the already cooked rice?
I’m African American and I made it using your recipe and my FAMILY LOVED IT!!! Thank you so very much sister!!🔥🌍🖤❤️💚
