Ofada Jollof Rice

Ofada rice is a local and very popular rice in Nigeria. This ofada jollof rice is another way to enjoy ofada rice, it is normally prepared plain and pair with popular stew knowns as Ayamase or ofada stew but I prepared this like normal Nigeria jollof rice expect for the parboiling method. Cooking ofada jollof rice is slightly different from the normal jollof rice especially if you’re like me that don’t parboil the rice for jollof rice.

I parboiled the ofada rice three times to reduce the starch, the color, and smell. So if you want to try something different with ofada rice try this recipe. After the parboiling, make sure you don’t add too much water to the mixture so you don’t end up with mushy rice.
