Jollof rice is a popular West African dish made with rice, tomatoes, onions, and a Blend of spices. It is known for its rich, savoury flavour and vibrant orange-red colour, typically achieved by cooking the rice in a tomato-based sauce. Jollof rice is widely enjoyed across West Africa, with each country and region offering its own variations, but it is particularly associated with Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal. It is often served as a main dish or a side, usually accompanied by grilled meats, fried plantains, or vegetables.
