jollof-rice-with-chicken1Caribbean holidays should always include this recipe. Caribbean Jollof rice and chicken, Yummy! This is a dish that is served on most Caribbean Islands, so pick up the phone and call 0800 883 0982 for the best caribbean holiday deals to suit your needs and budget.

Serves 4

Preparation and cooking times

Prep 10 mins

Cook 1 hr

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large deep frying pan over a high heat then add the meat and fry for about 5 mins till golden all over. Lift out of the pan onto a plate.
  2. Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onions until soft but not golden, about 5 mins. While the onions cook, make the ginger and chilli base. Put the garlic, tomatoes, ginger and chilli into a food processor or blender and whizz till smooth.
  3. Add the tomato purée to the onions, fry for another 2 mins then add the ginger and chilli mix. Crumble in the stock cube, stir then pour in 600ml boiling water. Add the chicken, bring to the boil then simmer for 15 mins.
  4. Put the rice into a large bowl, cover with cold water and use your hands to wash the grains. Tip the water out then repeat twice until the water runs clear. Add the rice to the pan, turn the heat down to a simmer then cover with foil and a lid (so no steam can escape) and cook for 20 mins.
  5. Take the lid off (the rice won’t be cooked yet) then scatter the peppers and okra over the rice. Re-cover and cook for 10 mins until the veg is softened and the rice tender. Just before serving, mix the veg through and scatter over coriander.

Good Food Know How

Okra, often called ‘ladies’ fingers’ is available in most supermarkets; look for it near the green beans. Before cooking, trim the top and tail off each length.
