Ingredient
  • 4 cups long-grain rice
  • 1 pack GINO Party Jollof Tomato Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tbsp GINO Tomato Mix
  • 4 large red bell peppers
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 2 Scotch bonnet peppers
  • 2 medium onions

  • 1 tsp GINO Thyme
  • 1 tsp GINO Curry
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  3. 3

    Add Gino tomato mix and fry for 2–3 minutes.

  4. 4
    Pour in the blended pepper mixture and cook until the sauce reduces and the oil begins to rise.

  6. 6
    Add the stock and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.

    For that signature party-style flavour, allow the rice at the bottom of the pot to toast slightly — without burning excessively.
