Prepare rice by rinsing under cold water until water runs clear.

Blend tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers into a smooth paste.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the blended paste to the pot and cook until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

Season the sauce with spices and salt to taste.

Add chicken or fish to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in stock and bring to a boil.

Stir in the rinsed rice and reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed, about 20-30 minutes.

In a separate pot, boil cassava and plantains until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Mash cassava and plantains together to form fufu, adding water as needed for consistency.

Serve Jollof rice with fufu and fried plantains on the side.
