Jesus & Jollof! I love the term. Today, I had some chicken curry and brown rice because I wanted to try something different. Honestly, I'm going to have some jollof rice tomorrow. My Easter Sunday felt funny without Jollof rice and peppered goat meat 🤤🤤😅.

Jesus, jollof and chocolate. It is finished indeed. 😁Holiday food growing up is always a massive feast of jollof with fried chicken or beef if you are lucky to get a piece. This write up is on point🙌🏻

Hi Lerato, I’d you don’t mind sharing the rice brand you use to make jollof rice. I really like the fact it’s not too soggy, and the strands are fine. Thanks xx
