Nigerian Party Rice
Report
Nigerian Party Rice is quite possibly our favorite version of Jollof Rice ever. Perfectly seasoned and slightly smoky it works great as a main course, with your favorite protein, or as a perfect side dish at your next Braai. Cooking it over an open flame adds even another layer to its awesomeness.
