How To Use

Jollof Rice Seasoning is made for jollof rice, but you can also take that rice and turn it into Jollof Rice Arancini. Or give a traditional dish some sizzle and make Jollof Pork Schnitzel. You can use this in just about any African-inspired food, so swap this in as the main seasoning when making Chicken Tagine or African Vegetable Stew. Choose this for Roasted Spiced Carrots with Whipped Feta. Or punch up the heat and use Jollof Rice Seasoning to make a spicy, aromatic Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. 

This blend goes well with rice, pork, chicken, vegetables, grilled beef, potatoes, seafood, and plant-based proteins like tofu or beans. Use for grilling, roasting, stovetop cooking, smoking, slow-cooking, and in stews, chilis, dressings, and marinades.
