Ghanaian Jollof Rice
Ghana's take on jollof rice, often cooked with basmati rice and more tomato paste for a deeper, sweeter flavor.
Why It Works
Ghanaian jollof tends to use more tomato paste, creating a deeper caramelized tomato flavor; basmati rice grains stay separate and fluffy rather than sticking together.
