This jollof rice looks great in taste and can feel the aroma. I am looking forward to making this at a weekend. My daughter wants me to cook this. Way to goooo.
I’d be interested in the spinach dish you mentioned. I had a beet dish in an Ethiopian restaurant but can’t find a recipe. This looks awesome. Thanks 💕from 🇨🇦Canada
In the Northern United States, tomatoes at this time of year are terrible. Instead of the fresh Roma tomatoes, could canned tomatoes be used instead. If so, how much?
Hi! Totally hear you. I recommend using tomato sauce or canned whole tomatoes instead (I find canned diced ones to be too sweet sometimes). I would start by using about 1/3 cup of sauce, or replace the same number of canned tomatoes as fresh ones! My sister-in-law uses tomato sauce often (even in Nigeria, there are lots of spikes and troughs in tomato supply)
Sounds and looks delicious -- but please tell, just HOW HOT do the 3 Habanero peppers make this dish? (I love hot and spicy, but not so much that the heat cancels out the other flavors of the dish. . .)
It’s a spicy dish but since you’re infusing rice, I don’t find it overbearing. My suggestion, though, is to start by using 1-2 small habaneros to see how you like the spice profile and then increase it :) I’ll add a note to the description about this as well! Thanks for asking.
Lol I totally would have made the mistake of popping the lid open before the rice was fully cooked...especially if I hadn’t eaten in the last few hours. 😋
It would make it much less hotter! I’d suggest adjusting down the number of habaneros to 1 to start with and then you can always adjust up the next time!
Thanks for watching. Have you ever had or made jollof rice before?! Let me know below!
I am Nigerian-American and a vegetarian and my fiance is Indian I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm excited to try this!
Thanks so much Ruthanna! Hope you find the video helpful - let me know how the jollof goes for you! :)

Thank you so much! I hope you guys love it :)
This dish is up my alley. I am vegan, but I need variety for my diet to work. African dishes are some of the most flavourful and healthy.
Hope you love it! We make it at home once a week because it’s great to make as a big batch and eat with different things all week!
I made this recipe two days ago and it is absolutely wonderful. I started with just one seedless but I will make it with two the next time!
This Jollof is the best! I have made it twice so far and I do not plan to stop!
I can see already the reaction of many people in Nigeria when hearing vegan jollof etc hahaha great video ;)
Hahaha, I knowwwww. I get it from my fiancé all the time - but gotta do what we gotta do. Thanks for watching!!

Hahaha, patience is a virtue! You'll be rewarded for not opening the lid with fluffy delicious rice
Would it still be hot if I took the seeds out of the habaneros
It would make it much less hotter! I’d suggest adjusting down the number of habaneros to 1 to start with and then you can always adjust up the next time!
Very quiet sound. Barely could hear it in a quiet place
Like a vegitarian jumbalaya.
Lots of historic connection between Southern foods and West African foods, actually!
How much rice and how much broth to make this?
Hi, I use 1 3/4 cups of broth for 2 cups of rice, since you’re also getting the liquid from the pepper purée.
Yum!!!
