Prep your ingredients first. To prevent hard rice in the finished dish, boil some water and pour the hot water into the bowl of rice. Now to build some great flavor, add vegetable oil to a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the seasonings next, Cumin, dried thyme, bay leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Adjust the seasonings if you like.
Add the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Mix and cook the sauce until the color turns a deep red color. This process will help get rid of the better taste of the tomatoes.
Next, add the long grain rice to the stewed vegetables. To make Jollof rice, use a long grain rice.
Next, add the vegetable broth.
The water level should be about the same level as the rice. Let it come to a boil, cover then reduce heat to low.
Cover and set stove to low. Cook the rice until the rice is al dente and liquid is absorbed. Next, remove the pot from the hot burner and set it the side. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
So good!
