Ghana Jollof Rice (With Chicken and Ham. Full Meal!) image

In Jollof, the rice is cooked along with other ingredients, rather than as a separate starch. Jollof contains just about everything you need for a one-dish meal. I think this recipe is so flavorful and delicious. I find myself going back for seconds of the rice with veggies. Don't skip the cabbage (unless your really hate cabbage) because it really adds flavor to the rice. Yum!! I omit the ham. Recipe from chef Angela Shelf Medearis.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups water
3 lbs chicken, cut into 8 pieces (bone in. I use drumsticks and thighs and remove the skin)
2 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup smoked ham, cooked and cubed
1 cup rice, uncooked
1 large onion, sliced
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
1/2 lb fresh green beans, quartered and stems removed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the water into a large pot. Add the chicken, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the ham, rice, onion, cabbage, green beans, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is fork-tender and the rice is cooked - about 25 to 30 minutes. *You can choose to simmer it longer if you want to cook out more of the liquid. It's up to you. Enjoy!
