Have you heard about Liberian Jollof Rice? It’s a famously delicious one-pot recipe of rice, protein and veggies. I found a classic old-style recipe by Norma Gibson that’s surely the one to make.
2 Pounds Chicken Wings
2 Pounds Beef Strips
3 Kielbasa Sausage
2 1/2 Cups Parboiled Rice
1 Small Can Tomato Paste
2 Fresh Tomatoes
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
2 Cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables
1 Large Onion
2 Habanero Pepper
2 Cups Oil to Fry Chicken
1 Spring Onion
Step 1: Wash Rice then Soak Rice in very hot water. Cover the pan with foil paper and put in oven to rest for 1 hour.
Step 2: Clean Chicken, Beef and Sausages and Season to taste.
Step 3: Cut up tomatoes, Onion, Bell Peppers, Habanero Pepper and blend.
Step 4: Fry Beef Strips, Chicken and Sausages
Step 5: Put 2 tablespoons oil in frying pan. Heat up oil and add chopped onions and 1 whole habanero pepper then fry for 10 minutes.
Step 6: Add blended vegetables and fry for 10 minutes, add can of tomato paste and fry for about 2 minutes.
Step 7: Add Fried Chicken, Sausages and Beef. At the point taste and see if you have enough seasoning.
Step 8: Add mixed vegetables and stir in for a minute. Then add Rice that had been soaking in the warm water (Do not add water it was soaking in). Stir in for about another 2 minutes to get the sauce incorporated with rice.
Step 9: Cut the stove off, Cover your frying pan very tight with foil paper. Place in your 375-degree pre-heated oven for one hour.
Step 10: After an hour take out your Jollof Rice give it a quick stir to mix ingredients.
