Instructions

How to make the Jollof⁣:

  1. Start by rinsing the rice well, until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Place the tomato, onion and peppers in a blender and chop until pureed.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan and add 1 cup of the vegetable puree. Heat it through until it starts to bubble and thicken. Add the garlic and spices and mix thoroughly.
  4. Stir in the rice and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Next, add the bay leaf and water and turn the heat up to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook for about 25-30 minutes, until the water has been fully absorbed by the rice.

How to make the Suya:⁣

  1. Soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning and carefully pierce the chicken pieces and arrange them on the skewers.
  2. In a bowl place all the ingredients, mix well and allow the mixture to marinate for 1 hour (or more).
  3. Coat the chicken skewers well in the marinade and place the in the fridge to develop the flavors for 1 hour (or preferably overnight).
  4. Once ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium heat and place the skewers on top to cook for 10 minutes or so or until internal temperature reaches 165° F/70° C. Turn them over to cook them evenly on all sides.
  5. Serve the chicken Suya together with the Jollof and enjoy!
