Main content (0:30 – 1:45)

First, let’s blend our pepper mix. I’m using fresh tomatoes, red bell peppers, Scotch bonnet, and onions. Blend until smooth, that’s where the flavor begins!

Next, heat some vegetable oil in a pot, add sliced onions, and fry until golden brown. Then pour in your blended pepper mix and fry for about 10 minutes, this part makes your kitchen smell amazing!

Now, add your seasonings; curry, thyme, salt, stock cubes, and a bit of bay leaf. Stir well and pour in your washed rice. Mix everything together gently and allow the rice soaks up the pepper base.

Add water or chicken stock just enough to cover the rice. Cook on low heat, and cover the pot. Let it steam slowly. Don’t stir too much to avoid burn, that’s how we get that nice smoky Jollof flavor!

The end part (1:45 – 2:15)

Expression: l have to keep smiling and making eye contact with the camera.

Intonation: I should remain lively when introducing steps, and relate softer when giving cooking tips.

Body Language: I should use hand gestures more when explaining ingredients or steps.
