Ingredients

  • 1 can FriChik Original
  • 1 cup brown rice (short or long grain)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded, minced
  • 1/2 large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh or canned tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 tsp dry thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander seed
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp butter or margarine
  • 2 firm bananas (or 1 ripe plantain), cut in 1/3β€³ slices

Directions

  1. Rinse rice well. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a heavy 2-quart or larger pot on a medium-low setting, heat the oil. Add onion, Scotch bonnet pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes.
  3. Add drained rice and saute 2 minutes more.
  4. Stir in tomatoes, water, thyme, curry powder, coriander seed, onion powder, bay leaf, salt, and FriChik with its gravy. Bring to boil and stir. Cover tightly, reduce heat to the lowest setting, and simmer for 35 minutes.
  5. While the Jollof is cooking, melt the butter in a skillet and fry the banana slices for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Remove the skillet from the burner and place bananas in a holding dish to avoid over-cooking.
  6. Remove bay leaf. Place Jollof mixture in a serving bowl. Add banana slices to the sides and/or top of the dish. Serve hot.
