]]>To be cooked perfectly, jollof rice is all about being cooked in steam, not water. So cook until the sauce covers the rice, then stir together to combine the rice and the sauce, and cover the pot with aluminum foil and then the pot lid to trap in as much steam as possible.
Remember that with jollof rice, it’s all about balance. The temperature should be moderate, medium heat. If it’s too hot, the liquid will dry up too fast, and if it’s too low, the rice will end up soggy.
To get that beautiful, deep orangey-red jollof rice color, you’ll need to use tomato paste. If you only use fresh tomatoes, it’ll water it down. So try to add a full tablespoon of tomato paste for every two fresh tomatoes you use.
