Vegan Jollof Rice Recipe

Benne or sesame seedsย  were brought to America by West African slaves. They were commonly used to enhance the flavors of foods or used as a thickening agent.ย  African slaves believed the seeds to be good luck. Benne wafers are a staple dessert for many people in South Carolina and they are often served during Kwanzaa as well. Melt in your mouth, crisp, chewy, nutty and caramelized benne or sesame wafer/cookies are perfect for the holidays. For a more traditional type cookie, leave them plain or make them festive by drizzling them with chocolate sauce. Both ways are equally delicious.
