Hilda Baci shows Ghanaians how to prepare jollof
In this captivating video, Hilda shared her expert recipe for Ghanaian Jollof rice, guiding her viewers through each step of the process.
- She started by adding her carefully washed goat meat into the pot, combined with a medley of aromatic spices that filled the air with tantalising scents.
- Next, she blended a colourful assortment of peppers, onions, and fresh herbs, introducing this vibrant mixture to the simmering meat.
- With a graceful stir, she allowed the dish to cook while preparing for the next steps. Fresh tomatoes, fragrant herbs, onions, and peppers were drizzled with olive oil and placed in a baking pan before being nestled into her preheated oven.
- Meanwhile, she seasoned her washed chicken with leftover puree, readying it for the oven as well.
- After blending the roasted vegetables into a smooth mix, Hilda began to craft the foundational elements of her Jollof.
- In a sizzling hot pan, she fried the tender goat meat until golden brown, then removed it to allow minced onions to caramelise in the flavorful oil.
- Tomato paste and the blended vegetable mixture were added, creating an aromatic base, before she skillfully folded in the rice, allowing it to absorb the rich flavours.
- As a finale, Hilda prepared a Ghanaian salad to accompany the feast, presenting her team members with a beautifully plated serving of her delicious Jollof rice that was as pleasing to the eye as it was to the palate.
