Jollof Rice

Jollof is a West African rice-based, single-pot dish that is incredibly versatile. This jollof recipe, from chef Serigne Mbaye of Dakar NOLA in New Orleans, offers a base recommendation for seasoning, but tasting and adjusting are important. Mbaye recommends not only adding salt as desired but also more vinegar or lime juice if more acidity is needed. This is a recipe that can be personalized and adjusted to suit the chef’s needs and taste with ingredients like tomatoes, onions, spices, and the option of meat for protein.
