Ingredients

2 cups Rice
2 tbsp Tomato paste
1 medium Onion
1 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Vegetable oil

Method

Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat, about 300°F, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes, and add the tomato paste, stirring to combine, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the rice to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and tomato paste, then add the salt, and water, bringing to a boil, then reducing the heat to low and simmering for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir the jollof rice occasionally as it cooks, adding more water if necessary to achieve the right consistency, and adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if necessary, and serve hot, garnished with chopped vegetables or nuts if desired, and accompanied by a side of sauce or stew, if desired, for a filling breakfast meal.
To add extra flavor to the jollof rice, add a few drops of palm oil or other flavorings, such as dried fish or meat, if desired, and adjust to taste, and serve with a fried egg or other protein source, if desired, for added nutrition and flavor.
Repeat the process until all the rice is cooked, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning, and serve immediately, for a delicious and satisfying breakfast meal, and consider adding other ingredients, such as peas or carrots, for added flavor and nutrition.
To ensure the jollof rice is cooked through, check for a tender and fluffy texture, and adjust the cooking time as necessary, and serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs, if desired, for a fresh and flavorful breakfast dish.
