It’s at this point that I remembered where I kept the camera o take cooking pictures. This is after frying the tomatoes with much onion and tatashe, I just added the stock here, then sprinkled in the secret ingredient that gives you that perfect party jollof rice taste. Try it and see.
Whether cooked with firewood, stove or gas cooker, you’ll arrive at that special taste, just make sure that it burns a little after the food is done. Some bay leaves added with enough thyme. |
 |
| Adding my washed rice to boiling stock, the bay leaves and thyme have boiled into the meat stock, come and follow smell the aroma in the whole compound. |
| Rice boils for 10 minutes, before I turn down the heat and let it simmer until done. When you let jollof rice simmer, you won’t need to keep adding water because it will just cook slowly without drying up the water too fast. The more you add water to jollof rice, the the weaker the taste becomes. I hardly add water a second time to my jollof, I just let it simmer and by the time the water dries up, the rice is cooked. |

| Nigerian party jollof rice, here it is but you won’t get to see the bay leaves when rice is served because these leaves are used only for that aroma, once cooking is done, pick out all the bay leaves in the pot before serving your food. Do not serve with the leaves. |
| Let the burning begin! A little burning o, abeg nor go burn all your rice come dey eat charcoal o. |
| A serving of jollof with stewed chicken, goat meat and lettuce to garnish. To say the truth, I added this lettuce here when I remembered comments that used to criticize my food presentation. We are changing, and getting there. |
| Enjoy your Nigerian party jollof rice with a tall glass of chill water! You can serve with wives connection moi moi, ripe bananas, or your choiced salad. Happy weekend! Don’t go yet na, you might like the rice recipes below. Try them! |

Which kind of curry and bay leaf are u using.names please….
My problem is finding where to but these bay leaves. Is it these Hausa guys that sell ginger, garlic, green bell pepper, spring onions, green peas, cucumber and carrots that sell the bay leaves too?
Gel superior curry and spice garden bay leaves for this meal. I also use Lion and Ducross curry sometimes if that's what's available in the kitchen.
Buy bay leaves from the supermarket. I buy the dry leaves in a large jar, don't know if we have fresh leaves in Nigeria. The aroma in the dry leaves sha is still super.
Nutmeg in rice? Maybe I should try and see how far.
LNC, my lovely girl, please wait for weekend.
Yes, dry ones.
Hahaha, it's bay leaves
the look though…
Aunty Eya another secret of party rice is this. Benny spice, its yellow, just use it in seasoning your beef or chicken. Then use turning stick to turn the rice, when it starts burning. another one is onga stew.
