Jollof Rice Recipe | How to Make Jollof Rice With Chicken Wings.

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear and set aside.

Blend tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger into a smooth paste.

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

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

Stir in thyme, bay leaves, curry powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Stir in the rinsed rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

Add carrots and peas, stirring gently to combine.

Cover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Garnish with sliced scotch bonnet pepper for added heat if desired.
