Ingredients

Instructions

Rinse 3 cups of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents mushy rice. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. A heavy-bottomed pot distributes heat evenly and prevents burning.
Add the entire jar of Jiffy Jollof Sauce to the heated oil. Pour in 3 cups of broth and stir well with a wooden spoon. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add your drained rice and stir thoroughly to coat every grain with the sauce. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 20-25 minutes without lifting the lid.
After 20-25 minutes, add sliced onions, fresh tomato slices, and butter. Stir gently to combine, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
