Jollof rice is a staple dish on every West African table. Every country makes theirs differently but the most famous varieties are probably Nigerian, Ghanaian and Senegalese. Chef Tolu Eros talked to Semafor about the "jollof wars," a friendly feud over which nation makes the best rice, and how his "unity jollof" might settle the conflict.

@songgao @GreenFire The pots work with induction stoves, although they were not designed for it.

However, cooking large amounts of #spaghetti sauce or #Jollof rice would take forever via induction. I can adjust the gas stove heat & cook it faster if needed.

The #jollof rice is ready! My favorite comfort food 🙂

Cooking up a pot of #jollof rice. Can’t wait for it to be done 😋

My recipe: saute 2 cups raw long grain rice, 4 grated cloves garlic, 1 chopped onion in 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil until rice is slightly charred (for smoky flavor). Add ginger, coriander, nutmeg, black pepper, salt, etc. Blend 1 red bell pepper, 2 tomatoes, 1 habanero (optional), 2 tablespoons tomato paste with water until you have 4.25 cups of liquid. Pour liquid over rice, stir, simmer on low heat for 25 mins, enjoy.
