A Wonderful day to the beautiful women of this great community.
It's actually a privilege to be part of this contest and am giving it my best to make my entry by sharing my cooking experience.
So, today I was confused on what exactly to cook and the thought of this contest made me opt for jollof rice which is a known and general dish for all nations.
I prepared and got my ingredients ready for the food.
Jollof rice is one of the most cherished foods in Africa and thus is my favorite food... It is that one food I don't get tired of eating and I have different ideas and methods of preparing any of my choices jollof rice whenever I want to and so today I prepared my jollof rice using smoked fish (quiet unusual as it has a touch and mix of cultural jollof rice but trust me it was sweet and worth it, the taste I can't forget to say is yummy.

Here's my well prepared jollof rice
