This recipe is just perfect timing with the weather right now. Its been raining quite a lot lately, so I thought to add this to your ‘to-do list’, it is great for the weather and totally delicious. Weather aside, it can also be a scrumptious …
Today, I will sharing this awesome Ayamse Jollof Rice recipe with y’all and you will have many reasons to thank me, I guarantee it. There’s really no ‘cool story’ to how I came about this dish, this ‘Covid- 19 season’ just has a way of making one creative. I was on my usual quest of finding new ways to enjoy rice and that was how this came to mind, so I decided to test the recipe and I was very impressed with the outcome.
I took a picture of the dish and posted it on my Instagram page and the comments went off! I was quite shocked at the response. Now I know my followers love food, but this one was on another level, literally 80 percent of the comments were people begging for a recipe and 20 percent wanting to visit me so they could have some, lol. As a creator this kind of response has to be attended to as soon as possible, so I immediately started scheduling to film this recipe.
I filmed the recipe video the day after I posted the picture and made sure to send warm, hearty plates of this delicious rice to a few of my amazing followers. And they all came back raving about the taste and how grateful they were, it was such a wholesome feeling.
This recipe is basically rice cooked in Ayamase Base Sauce. If you are a lover of Ayamase, Green Sauce, Ofada and the likes, you will definitely want to try this. As you already know I like to find new ways to enjoy my rice as it is something we eat a lot in Nigerian homes and I’m more than happy to share with you guys what I come up with.
I used different assorted meats for this dish and it totally infused the taste of the rice in the best way. If you follow me, you know how much I love ram meat, the flavour it gives is just lovely, if I had my way, I’d infuse it in everything I cook. I also used Ponmo, Shaki and Gizzard in this recipe and the flavors and different textures were just bomb.
You don’t have to use exactly what I used in my recipe, you can add some smoked fish if you like or just anything you have available and I’m sure you will still get the same delicious result.
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my Instagram followers and my family did. Try it out and have fun with it, enjoy!
