🎯Palmoil

🎯Rice

🎯Locust Beans (optional)

🎯Onions 

🎯Blended pepper mix- i use tatashe, bawa, rodo,        yellow pepper and onions

🎯Smoked/dry fish

🎯Ponmo

🎯Dry Prawns 

🎯Crayfish 

🎯Ugwu (optional)

HOW TO COOK

-Place pot on fire and pour in your palmoil to heat up a little, then pour in locust beans and onions

-Allow to fry a bit, then pour in your pepper mix to fry for a while. You can parboil your rice while this is going on, i parboil my rice before pouring into the pepper mix to avoid stickiness from all that rice starch. 

-Pour in your ponmo and smoked fish (if it's very dry) into the frying  pepper mix, then add crayfish, seasoning and salt to taste, allow to cook for a bit then add water and or meat stock(if you have) to the stew.

-Allow to boil, then add your parboiled rice (remember rice is parboiled so you don't need a lot of water), better to add water later than end up with soggy rice 

-Allow to cook till water dries up, then pour in your dry prawns/smoked fish(if its panla) and check if rice is almost soft enough, pour in a little water and cover pot with foil(optional) to steam and finish cooking the rice

- Open pot and garnish cooked native jollof rice with ugwu and scent leaves and diced bell peppers, stir and voila your rice is ready.
