HOW TO MAKE THE TASTIEST SMOKY JOLLOF STEW

Happy World Jollof Rice Day! 

Starting with the most important part of any Jollof; THE STEW!

I opted for smoked Turkey in making my Jollof stew to intensify the smoky flavour of the Jollof Rice; in the first of a 3 part series,  ‘How to throw a Jollof Rice Party’.

HOW TO MAKE THE TASTIEST GARI FORTOR RECIPE

Gari Fortor , a popular Ghanaian dish is basically Gari mixed with spiced oil (which is derived from the excess oil of  stew). It is served as an accompaniment to dishes such as Waakye or Rice and can be enjoyed on its own with your preferred protein.

Gari is made from grated Cassava/ Yuca/ Manioc , which is fermented and dry fried to a crispy coarse consistency. It’s similar to Couscous and it’s gluten free.

SMOKY SALSA STEW RECIPE 

However this recipe used a smoky spiced Salsa stew for that extra flavour. Chunks of Onions were included to give the Gari it’s much needed texture and sweetness.

As mentioned you can use Couscous if your don’t have Gari for this recipe.

I have a plethora of stews to choose from as a base for this recipe;

170g of smoky Salsa sauce or Jollof stew

250g of Gari

1 large sliced Onion

Your preferred herbs or Spring Onions

4 tablespoonfuls of your spiced oil (this is derived from the excess oil you get from your Jollof stew)

20ml of cold water
