Party jollof is the version cooked in big pots until the bottom catches slightly, and that light burn is where the smoke comes from. This one is made entirely without meat or fish stock.
Long grain rice absorbs a base of blended tomatoes, red peppers, onions, bay leaf and thyme until every grain turns orange and separates cleanly. Expect a medium heat and the deep smokey finish that makes people ask which party it came from.
The container charge has been added to the price already. Order online for pickup or delivery in Kigali from Jollof Bistro, or eat a hot plate at the restaurant.
