Hello friends. I hope you are doing well today. I bring to you a simple fast and delicious quick fix jollof rice that I prepared yesterday. I had beef in my freezer, and I was craving for a jollof rice. I decided to make something fast, even hubby was shocked because the meal including the preparation was ready in one hour. Cooking is faster and easier when you have most of the items at home. The only thing I bought was the vegetables, the rest was gotten from my home.
Ingredients
• 1kg red beef
• 1.5kg rice
• 3 seasoning cube
• 6 onions
• 3 cooking spoon vegetable oil
•100g fresh pepper
•100g carrots
• 50g sweet corn
• 1 bowl of blended fresh tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon rosemary and curry
• half teaspoon black pepper
• 100g fresh peppers
• 2 tablespoon salt
Cooking Procedure
Step 1
Place cooking pot on fire with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add chopped onions, I used 4 onions here. Add the blended tomatoes when onions is fried, add seasoning cubes and spices and fry for 5 to 10 minutes. Add 5 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Step 2
While the tomato is cooking, wash beef properly and spice well to get a tasty stock. I used the spices listed in the ingredients section. Cook for 20 minutes and put to grill for 1 hour in the microwave.
Step 3
Wash rice about four times to remove excess starch. Add rice to the tomato mix, stir and cook for 10 minutes. Add the meat stock after 10 minutes, add salt, seasoning cubes and spices and cook.
Step 4
Wash and prepare vegetables. I washed the peas and sweet corn, scrape and chop the carrots and sliced remaining onions.
At this point, the rice should be almost ready. Add the vegetables and stir. Taste to ensure everything is intact as expected or adjust taste where necessary.
Our delicious quick fix jollof rice is ready to be enjoyed. I had to wait for the beef to be well grilled and dried. Aside the beef, preparing the rice didn't take more than an hour and it was very delicious in the end. The beef flavor was well pronounced as I craved and everyone enjoyed the meal.
