Cookingvlog #18|| African jollof rice

Welcome to my blog today and I'm going to be showing you how I prepared African jollof rice with veggies.

So last week was really busy for me and I've never been that very busy but then I enjoyed the activities throughout the week.

If I want to write about my last week I think I'll spend like 2 weeks to write about it in different areas but then let me use this opportunity to show you how I prepared African jollof rice during the weekend.

So we had a 3 days convention so I cooked for my family in those 3 days but I actually want to show you how I cooked rice in one of those days.

African jollof rice is one of those food in Africa that everyone like to eat exception of those ones that have health challenges that requires them not to eat it aside from that, African rice is eaten by everyone.

Mis en place

So the first thing I did was to parboil my rice, of course I did this to avoid the rice remaining sticky or sandy.

Then I seasoned the chicken, steamed it

Enjoying the rice while at the convention

One thing I like about this rice is that the veggies makes it very nutritious and healthy to eat. It has a lot of health benefits, the fresh tomatoes, carrots, green beans, green pepper contains vitamins, which helps in building the immune system. While the spices I used contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory which also helps the body system to fight some certain conditions.

So looking at the ingredients you used in cooking is very essential.

It was really delicious and we all enjoyed the rice. You know one things in cooking Nigerian meal, you need to get your spices ready and it has to be the one that will go in well with your food.

The spices has to be moderate and of course you know too much of it will spoil the taste. The spices I used really worth the stress.
