GHANA JOLLOF RICE (WITH CHICKEN AND HAM. FULL MEAL!)



Ghana Jollof Rice (With Chicken and Ham. Full Meal!) image

In Jollof, the rice is cooked along with other ingredients, rather than as a separate starch. Jollof contains just about everything you need for a one-dish meal. I think this recipe is so flavorful and delicious. I find myself going back for seconds of the rice with veggies. Don't skip the cabbage (unless your really hate cabbage) because it really adds flavor to the rice. Yum!! I omit the ham. Recipe from chef Angela Shelf Medearis.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups water
3 lbs chicken, cut into 8 pieces (bone in. I use drumsticks and thighs and remove the skin)
2 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup smoked ham, cooked and cubed
1 cup rice, uncooked
1 large onion, sliced
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
1/2 lb fresh green beans, quartered and stems removed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the water into a large pot. Add the chicken, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the ham, rice, onion, cabbage, green beans, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is fork-tender and the rice is cooked - about 25 to 30 minutes. *You can choose to simmer it longer if you want to cook out more of the liquid. It's up to you. Enjoy!

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large yellow onions, roughly chopped
⅓ cup vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
14 oz diced tomato, 2 cans
6 oz tomato paste, 1 can
1 habanero pepper
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon mixed dried herbs
3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed
2 ½ cups long grain rice, rinsed
1 cup frozen mixed vegetable
1 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • Add onions and 2 tablespoons of oil to a blender and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and habanero pepper to the blender, and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a separate medium bowl.
  • Heat the remaining ⅓ cup (80 ml) of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion puree and cook until the water has cooked out and the puree is starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato puree and add the curry powder, garlic powder, ginger, dried herbs, and crushed bouillon cubes. Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew has reduced by half and is deep red in color.
  • Add the rice, mixed vegetables, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with foil and a lid. Simmer for another 30 minutes, until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Enjoy!
