    Looks good! Can I substitute either sardines or fish sauce for the crawfish? Thanks

      Thanks Alison and no you can’t use sardines in place of the ground crayfish
      as sardines will subdue the taste of the food,
      but you can leave out the ground crayfish if you don’t have any.

      I'm so glad you enjoyed it, even if no one wants there jollof or coconut rice to burn..even a bit.., we surely can't deny the fact that a litle burn adds a smoky flavor partylike flavor to the rice, abi :
