Taking a pause in my adventure telling...on Tuesday Juliet came over for another cooking lesson. This time it is Jollof Rice. For a description read about it here. Recipes here, here, and here.

| Here's Juliet! |
I have had Jollof Rice since I've come to Africa because every restaurant menu has it on. It was served at our Christmas dinner in single serving with chicken. Juliet's Jollof Rice is superb! She flavored it with beef, smoked salmon, and chicken along with the usual tomato paste, onions, garlic, peppers (green, little, hot), and of course maggi cube. I saw her add other spices (one I'm pretty sure was curry) but I don't know what they all were.

| She blended the onions, peppers, etc., and spices added to the tomato paste |
 |
| Juliet used salted beef after it had been boiled |
 |
| Tomato paste is the basis of Jollof Rice and of course lots of different flavors added |
 |
| Boiled with onions and spices, then fried with onions and spices |
I really thought this was excellent and it disappeared in one sitting. Brother Dumevi was very excited when he came to see what was cooking today. He brought three meals home with him to deliver and Juliet took hers home with the extra ingredients. Brother Dumevi bought fruit for everyone.
 |
| After melting a carry-out container, we loaded the better plastic containers with Jollof Rice, and fried plantains. the plantains tone down the rice when eaten together. Some people like it better. |

| Dumevi helped Juliet balance the heavy box on her head |
 |
| Brother Dumevi put his three dinners and fruit in a basket he was picking up from a previous catered dinner for Family Home evening. He is such a useful person! |
Jollof Rice is wonderful and I highly recommend it!
