Jollof rice from My America: Recipes from a Young Black Chef (page 57) by Kwame Onwuachi and Joshua David Stein

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Sweet plantains; Charred mackerel; Chicken in red stew; Chicken yassa; Suya

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • TinyCitiKitchen on July 08, 2025

    Tried this because it let me check two things off my long to-try list: Jollof Rice, and any one of Chef Kwame’s recipes. And WOW! I was blown away by the amount of flavor packed into this simple rice dish. Emphasis on flavor, not (despire presence of both hot sauce and curry powder) heat. In the final few minutes, I threw in a third of a packet of peas that I found lurking in my freezer, and some diced smoked duck breast, and had a meal I would be delighted to pay to eat. I’m delighted that the recipe for Obe Ata Din Din makes twice as much as this dish needs, so I’ve already got everything I need lined up to make it again. I expect to be repeating this one again and again — probably tossing in other random proteins and veg along the way.
