Foolish people will find reason to criticize any and everything. Depending on the type of rice, you don't have to wash before cooking.
@aaronmontgomery20555 жыл бұрын
the reason that is, is because if you want to have individual grains of rice/texture and to clear debris as it is fairly common for rice to have debris. This is particularly true of long grains and basmati. However if you want creaminess you don't wash the rice mush and let starch stay.

She is only adding it because it is too hard to replicate what some Nigerians call 'bottom pot' in a recipe. You can get the smoky flavour by cooking on an open flame like she says, but you can also get it by slightly burning the bottom of the rice. Persians call it tahdig, in Spain it is socarrat, some latinos call it chicharras and there are other names for it in other African countries and in many Asian countries.

The truth is in Nigeria there isn't any real distinction in what kind of rice is used for Jollof, as long as it is rice. So it is safe to say the Ghanaian style of Jollof (basmati based) is just a subset of Nigerian Jollof which is rice based (regardless of the type, although parboiled rice is most common). It is like comparing Citrus (Nigerian any rice type Jollof) with Orange (Ghanaian basmati based Jollof), an Orange is just a type of Citrus.

Tried this a couple times - Dutch oven is very important for this recipe. The first time, I used an aluminum tray with foil as a cover, since I don’t have a Dutch oven and the rice came out undercooked. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, cook the rice separately to about 80% completion and add the rice and mix to an aluminum tray and finish it off in the oven. This did the trick for me. Hope this helps 😊

It's so cool to see dishes from places that we typically don't. I think that food is something that can show how alike we are in really simple ways. Throughout history, there are these regions that are separated by thousands of miles, and they all have rice dishes similar to this, when you look at something like paella or risotto. Noodle dishes, there are regional versions of stuff pasta from ravioli, gyoza, perogies, etc. These people had no contact but still came up with the same ways to prepare those foods (and I know that the spice trade can muddy the waters a bit with influencing dishes, but still). I know that is overly simplifying race relations, but I think sometimes it's the most basic things that can help show the difference between us all is only skin deep.

Heads up about cooking with garlic. I learned from watching an Italian cook on a cooking show that you should cover the pot as soon as you add garlic to the pan. This way, you won't loose garlic flavor. The oils and compounds that give garlic its flavor will evaporate into the air when the lid is off. Putting the lid on traps that garlic flavor into the cooking food.

Washing the rice before cooking it for sure reduces the potential stickiness of the dish but more importantly ...reduced stickiness means increased fluffiness. (More so for white rice ...less so for already parboiled rice...I tend to wash my white rice as it has a lot more starch starting out than a parboiled rice.) If you want your rice to feel almost like cotton candy in the mouth with fluffy grains ...washing it is the way to go...it probably helps the grains absorb the flavor from the sauce as well. Also ... washing the rice reduces the total cook time as the starch doesn't have to cook out.

my favourite rice. I put it on as a option for my wife who has trouble with eating dry rice or chicken. Thank you!

I didn't know who she was before, but now I want to be her best friend. She's amazing. I love love love Ethiopian food, and I've always wanted to try other African cuisines. I might have to try this (but with a lot less heat because I'm a wimp).
