Whaaaaat? Today is World Jollof Rice Day?? And I, the queen of Jollof has not blogged about Jollof??? With all the Jollof treasures that are embedded in this blog, I just can't let this day go by without giving you a Jollof treat.
Jollof Rice is the quintessential meal in a lot of African countries like Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal. Each country cooks it slightly differently but one thing is we all adore Jollof! Ever heard the saying, "a party without Jollof is a meeting?" Well, the presence of Jollof rice is what makes a party a party. This one-pot meal consisting of rice cooked with choice ingredients and spices is simply heaven on a plate.
Today August 22 is celebrated as World Jollof Rice Day all over the world! I don't even know who started this #worldjollofriceday but who am I not to join in this worthy celebration? I think there should be an international holiday for Jollof Rice so folks can stay home, eat and drool over the wonders of this meal.
I have put together 5 unique Jollof Rice recipes for you. Your Jollof life will never be the same again after you try these recipes. (That's a lot of Jollof in one blog post intro!) Let's dive in!
