Bay leafes give a good taste to these jollof rice (is selim nearly the same taste?) At last thanks so much for sharing i enjoy and like to try ;)

[@enochgodifk.a.6723]

hello Fafa, my question is a little bit away from jollof rice, but will ask anyway... which type of cooking oil is most nutritious ; vegetable, sunflower, plant, soya , groundnut or coconut? and why? thanks.

[@NdudubyFafa]

The nutrients of most oils are destroyed when they reach a smoking point and can be harmful when consumed. Each type of oil has varying amounts of fats (Polyunsaturated, Monounsaturated and Saturated fats). Sunflower oil, Groundnut oil, Coconut oil and Avocado oils have high smoking points , which means you don’t loose most of its nutrients. Best to do more research (Google) and make your own informed choice.

[@enochgodifk.a.6723]

Thank you very much, Fafa. Go higher!!!

[@akuayeboah1]

Now that is Jollof! I love the idea of Whintea.

How do you add protein to this? My boyfriend gave me jollof rice with chicken and beef. Is that cooked separately? Sorry i just wanted to surprise him so i kinda not want to ask him questions 😁😁😁

[@EvolvingVintage]

Usually the protein is steamed to create a stock, so season as you like and cook. The stock is usually added to the Jollof to make it more tasty. Then you can proceed to fry or grill your protein.

[@piaseriza4200]

@@EvolvingVintage oh okay! Do you take out the protein before cooking the rice?

[@EvolvingVintage]

@@piaseriza4200 you cook it separately from the rice. You can start the Jollof by frying meat in a pot, taking it out and then start Jollof process. Which is frying onions and and proceed. Hope this makes sense
