Ghanaian Jollof Rice

Ghanaian Jollof Rice

Ingredients:
1 medium size onion – thinly sliced or chopped
1 medium size tomato – de-skinned and chopped
Few sprigs of fresh thyme, or a sprinkle of dried thyme
1 teaspoon chilli powder
2 teaspoons shrimp stock (GF)
1 teaspoon tomato puree
Cooking oil (olive oil)
Basmati rice – washed
Water
Frozen vegetables
From the many Jollof Rice recipes I've looked up and at, you can add chicken or shrimp to this dish.
Serves 2
Method:
  1. Sauté the onions until soften for about 2 minutes on a medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped tomato and the fresh thyme. Stir until tomato softens.
  3. Then add the tomato puree, chilli powder and shrimp stock. Stir for a few seconds and then add the washed rice. Coat the rice in the gravy for a few seconds.
  4. Then add water. Taste the seasoning, add salt if you think necessary. Reduce the heat to low and let the rice cook for about 20 minutes.
  5. Add the frozen vegetables and stir gently into the rice. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. I like the vegetable to be crunchy when I serve it. If you like the vegetable to be soft and cooked, you can add the vegetable at step 3, just after the rice.
Serve the jollof rice with shiito or fish stew or fried fish, boiled egg and green salad

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick
