Jollof

Jollof Rice is a West African dish that is known as the cousin or predecessor to jambalaya. It's made with rice, tomatoes and peppers, so it’s easy to think that Jollof is just a jambalaya without the protein. But what you will experience is a rice dish with deep flavor and it has as many variations as jambalaya.
