Abstract

In West Africa, Jollof rice is a fragrant dish that is revered across the sub-region for its unique sweet taste and subtle spiciness. It is street food, everyday rice, and a constant feature in every home meal plan and at every party¨eaten at birthdays, funerals, and celebrations of any sort.
Across the Atlantic, there are traces of Jollof in red rice, as well as in Jambalaya. Other similar red rice dishes are the Portuguese Arroz de Tomate and Mexican Arroz Rojo (Red Rice). Jollof Rice is traditionally made from long-grain parboiled rice, cooking oil, vegetables such as tomato, onion, red pepper, and scotch bonnet chilli peppers. The total time from preparing/blending the ingredients to cooking the rice on a stove top or in an oven is between 60 to 90 minutes.
This invention brings Jollof Rice to consumers in a form that saves time, saves stress, and can be easily transported and therefore can be made anywhere, from the home, work, vacation, business travel- all that is needed is water and a microwave. The ingredients in 15-minute Jollof Rice are prepared to preserve their best possible flavor, texture, color, and the constituents are carefully chosen to ensure optimum health benefits.
BACKGROUND HISTORY OF THE INVENTION:
loll& Rice is West Africa's most celebrated dish. It is a fragrant dish that is revered across the sub-region for its unique sweet taste and subtle spiciness. The origins of jollof rice can be traced to the Senegambian region that was ruled by the Wolof or Jolof Empire in the 14th century, spanning parts of today's Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania, where rice was grown. Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cameroon particularly competitive as to which country makes the best Jollof. This is especially prominent between Nigeria and Ghana, in a rivalry dubbed the "Jollof Wars" Since the 2010s there has been increasing interest in West African foods in the western world. Jollof food festivals have been held in Washington DC, in the US, and in Toronto, Canada. "World Jollof Day" has been celebrated since 2015 on 22 August, gaining traction on social media.

BACKGROUND HISTORY OF THE INVENTION:
Jollof Rice is West Africa's most celebrated dish. It is a fragrant dish that is revered across the sub-region for its unique sweet taste and subtle spiciness. The origins of jollof rice can be traced to the Senegambian region that was ruled by the Wolof or Jolof Empire in the 14th century, spanning parts of today's Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania, where rice was grown. Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cameroon particularly competitive as to which country makes the best Jollof. This is especially prominent between Nigeria and Ghana, in a rivalry dubbed the "Jollof Wars" Since the 2010s there has been increasing interest in West African foods in the western world.

Date Recue/Date Received 2022-07-19 Jollof Rice is a street food, everyday rice, and a constant feature in every home meal plan and at every party¨eaten at birthdays, funerals, and celebrations of any sort. It's an often quoted saying that "A party without Jollof is just a meeting," and frankly, I can't remember a single Nigerian party I've been to where jollof was not present. Its ingredients and preparation methods however vary across different regions, with each West African country having at least one variant form of the dish. Across the Atlantic, there are traces of Jollof in red rice, as well as in Jambalaya. Other similar red rice dishes are the Portuguese Arroz de Tomate and Mexican Arroz Rojo (Red Rice).
Jollof Rice is traditionally made from long-grain parboiled rice, cooking oil, vegetables such as tomato, onion, red pepper, and scotch bonnet chilli peppers. Tomato paste is added to enhance the colour of the dish. As seasoning, spices, salt, bouillon cubes, curry powder, dried thyme and bay leaves are used. One key component of the dish is the stew base, made by blending the tomatoes, onions, a variety of sweet, long, hot, and bell peppers with a touch of water or stock.
The ratio of those ingredients differs from recipe to recipe, but in every case, these ingredients gets cooked down and reduced mostly to round off the raw, tart flavors. The total time from preparing/blending the ingredients to cooking the rice on a stove top or in an oven is between 60 to 90 minutes. The dish could be a complete vegetarian meal on its own, and can be complemented with protein of choice and very often with fried plantain, steamed bean cake (Moinmoin), steamed vegetables, coleslaw, salad, etc. The preparation time for jollof rice is between one hour to 90 minutes.
