FULL RECIPE BELOW!


Hello my lovelies! Today, I am making a very popular and controversial dish from West Africa, Jollof Rice. The most popular name for the rice dish is Jollof Rice. However, us Gambians and Senegalese call it Benachin or Thiébou Guinar Yap (chicken and beef rice) or Thiébou Djeun (Fish Rice). Gambians and Senegalese have different versions of this popular rice dish. We have the red and white version. Both can be made with fish or chicken/& beef. Today, I am making the most popular version, the red Benachin (Jollof Rice) with chicken and beef. The dish is prepared differently by different countries. Thus, causing a rivalry among African countries. The question is always “WHO HAS THE BEST JOLLOF RICE?” They are all delicious to me! However, I am preparing it the original and traditional way, Senegambia style. ENJOY!


Love,

Satang Bayo

Note: The ingredients used in this video are for 10 cups of rice, which is a lot. Ideally, you should cook about 5 cups of rice. Just divide all of the ingredients in half if preparing 5 cups of rice.



ROFF INGREDIENTS
• 2 handful or cups of parsley
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 habanero pepper (add whole for more spice)
• Add 1 beef Jumbo cube and 1/2 tsp black pepper

* freeze any leftover Roff. Do not cross contaminate w/ chicken. Dish out the amount of Roff you think you might need in a separate bowl. If you need more Roff for your chicken, add more to your bowl.


PROTEIN SEASONING
• 10 chicken (A mix of legs and breast. Can use all legs or breast as well)
• 10 piece of steak (Can use Anh cut of beef, lamb or cow. Traditionally cooked with bonein beef cuts)
• 4 cloves of garlic sliced
• 2 beef Jumbo cubes
• Salt
• Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
• Black pepper



FRYING / SAUTÉ
• About 2 cups of vegetable oil or conola oil
• Optional: 2 cuts of African snail called Yete
• 2 large yellow onions chopped
• 3 soft Roma tomatoes chopped
• A little over 1 1/2 cups canned tomato paste
• 4 garlic cloves chopped
• 3 dried bay leaves
• Salt
• 1 beef Jumbo cube
• 1 chicken Jumbo cube
• 2 Maggie cubes
• Knor seasoning
• Black pepper
• 10 cups of Basmati rice


* Note: you can pick to use either Maggie or Jumbo. Also, you can use just beef or chicken Jumbo cubes. I like to mix all

*Note: reduce oil before sautéing the onions if you want less oil in the dish. However, make sure you have enough oil so that the 10 cups of rice won’t stick together.


VEGETABLES
• 1 Habanero pepper
• 1/4 cabbage (insert toothpick in the center of the cabbage help prevent it from falling apart)
• 1 eggplant cut in 4 pieces
• 4 cuts of honeynut squash
• 4 large whole carrots peeled

* Note: Use as much veggies as you want. You can also use mixed vegetables instead.
