What goes into Nigerian jollof rice?

Recipes vary between households, regions and occasions, so use this as a practical shopping guide and follow your preferred recipe for quantities and cooking times.

1. Rice

Long-grain easy-cook rice is a familiar choice. Basmati can also be used when your recipe calls for its texture and aroma.

2. Tomato and pepper base

Most versions begin with a cooked tomato mixture. Add fresh peppers and onions from the produce range when available, or choose a tomato product that suits your recipe.

3. Seasoning and aromatics

Jollof seasoning can simplify the pantry list. Your recipe may also call for curry powder, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, stock or chilli.

4. Complete the meal

Add cooking oil plus your preferred chicken, meat, fish, plantain, salad or drinks. Keep optional ingredients separate so every shopper can build the meal they actually want.

Add the rest of your meal.
