Күн бұрынChef Kwame Onwuachi of Kith/Kin is in the Munchies Test Kitchen to show why Nigerian jollof rice is the best kind. Kwame pairs the jollof rice, a popular dish served throughout West Africa, with red stew chicken and fried plantains for meal that’s part spicy, part savory, and part sweet.

I was just shocked by it, there's no turmeric or anything in it, I feel like it will be good but not that seasoned. and I usually like to sauté the red onion first in the oil and then add tomato paste too

Just my guess (not educated on the topic of African cuisine) if he is doing it traditionally , the oil ads a lot of calories. And of course flavor , you are welcome to use less oil.

@@hetarthpatel8297 we have tons of indians living in Nigeria, those born here, bred here, and each one I've met and interacted with have some kinship with Nigeria, the people, culture, the food, the cinema, the music; some are even more in love with it than we Nigerians are. I've always wondered why that is. But I do agree that we Nigerians are very warm towards visitors/non native Nigerians. Maybe in the end, the touch of love is what makes the experience here all the more delightful. And you are definitely welcome to visit and have pepper soup, whenever😉

@souvikdeb2523 3 жыл бұрын
Actually basmati rice is aged and is used in Persian, Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine more often. The main reason why we use basmati is because of the long grains, smell and flavour. However, from what I can infer, jollof has to seep in the juices from the meat and the curry. So in that case, the rice has to break down properly. In my view, basmati is ill suited for that. Btw, there is one other gem of Nigerian/West African cuisine that I really like. It's Fufu. The heavens were grateful when man invented Fufu. Like it's such a great vessel to scoop up meats and sauces!

@@LuperSame His preparation was a bit different from the way it is traditionally done in Nigeria. First problem with his method is that he is supposed to parboil/precook the rice in water. The parboiled rice is then washed with clean water, drained before use. We also don't use the oven as the final process in the cooking. He also did not precook the chicken with some spices and herbs for the stock which is very essential for the jollof rice. The chicken also needs to be fried in deep oil after being cooked in it's own juices with herbs just as he did with the plantain. Now that I think of it, there were so many things wrong with his method.
