Native rice, also called palm oil rice, is the deep and savoury cousin of jollof, and a delicate balance of flavour complexity. Long grain rice is cooked down in palm oil with onions and seasoning until every grain takes on colour and aroma.
- Long grain rice with pumpkin leaves stirred through
- Prawn, ponmo (kpomo) and smoked fish
- Crayfish, onions, seasoning cube and paprika
- Capsicum chinense and habanero pepper for heat
The pumpkin leaves keep it fresh, the smoked fish and crayfish give it that unmistakable West African depth, and the kpomo adds chew. Heat runs medium to hot thanks to the habanero.
