It’s at this point that I remembered where I kept the camera o take cooking pictures. This is after frying the tomatoes with much onion and tatashe, I just added the stock here, then sprinkled in the secret ingredient that gives you that perfect party jollof rice taste. Try it and see.
Whether cooked with firewood, stove or gas cooker, you’ll arrive at that special taste, just make sure that it burns a little after the food is done. Some bay leaves added with enough thyme. |

| Adding my washed rice to boiling stock, the bay leaves and thyme have boiled into the meat stock, come and follow smell the aroma in the whole compound. |
| Rice boils for 10 minutes, before I turn down the heat and let it simmer until done. When you let jollof rice simmer, you won’t need to keep adding water because it will just cook slowly without drying up the water too fast. The more you add water to jollof rice, the the weaker the taste becomes. I hardly add water a second time to my jollof, I just let it simmer and by the time the water dries up, the rice is cooked. |

| Nigerian party jollof rice, here it is but you won’t get to see the bay leaves when rice is served because these leaves are used only for that aroma, once cooking is done, pick out all the bay leaves in the pot before serving your food. Do not serve with the leaves. |
| Let the burning begin! A little burning o, abeg nor go burn all your rice come dey eat charcoal o. |
| A serving of jollof with stewed chicken, goat meat and lettuce to garnish. To say the truth, I added this lettuce here when I remembered comments that used to criticize my food presentation. We are changing, and getting there. |
