Spicy Jollof Seasoned Rice Mix

Price : $2.69

I love rice, spicy things, and trying new things so I couldn’t wait to pick this up! Jollof is a dish from West Africa and consists of rice, tomatoes and spices. I have to start by saying that I’ve never had Jollof before so I can’t speak on if this tastes authentic, but I did enjoy it! There was a little bit of a kick and the dried tomatoes added great flavor. I marked this down because I would have loved a bigger bag of this for the price. I didn’t have any proteins in my fridge (I clearly need to go shopping) so I loaded up on the rice and some roasted carrots. I ended up eating half the bag in one sitting… oops.

This won’t be a staple for me, but I will definitely pick it up again. I don’t eat rice often yet can see myself eating this over plain rice! As I said above, I’m not sure how this compares to authentic Jollof but it was yummy. I also think this is something I could try making at home! Have you tried this?! Has anyone had this dish before?
