The first step is to prepare a steel or a sauce. If you already have a steel, then you can skip the step
0:22
Heat up some oil, add onions, fry a bit, and then add a bit, and then add a little
0:29
and then add blended tomato and peppers. Now fry the stew for about 10 minutes and then add the tomato paste
0:51
The Derica tomato paste is a very common brand in West Africa
0:56
Keep frying the steel. trying the still until the tomato loses its sartase and don forget to keep on staring so that the tomato doesn burn underneath
1:11
The stew is ready when you see the oil rise to the top
1:19
Now scoop out about one quarter of the stew and set aside
1:27
Add some meat or chicken stock. In stock, mix well and bowl for about 5 minutes
1:33
Now add stock cubes or stock powder, some thyme, and salt to taste
1:59
well and leave to boil for another 5 to 8 minutes. Now add the papoid rice and mix thoroughly
2:18
You can add some water so that the liquid will be at the same level with the rice in the
2:24
pots just like this one. If the lid or cover of your pot has a vent hole on it just like mine you can
2:36
place an aluminum foil over it. This helps to trap in more heat
2:41
Leave to cook on minimum heat for about 30 minutes. Now add some crayfish. This is optional though
2:51
Test for salt and then add the remaining tomato stew. I did not add all the tomato stew at the beginning to prevent the rice from burning at the bottom
3:03
Cover the pots and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes until the water in the rice is
3:12
completely dried dried
3:28
As you can see, the rice is completely done and not soggy at all
3:33
Now mix thoroughly to get the perfect color of the Nigerian jolof rice, also known as a patty rice
