Healthy Food Weekly Contest Week24|| Show us the chef in you

Hello members of Healthy Steem community. I hope you're all having a nice day. I want to thank @mesola for this contest of healthy food weekly contest, we all need healthy food to be healthy.

Today I want to talk about jollof rice. Ah, this food is party jollof that has a lot of people hungry for it. It is prepared at home, at occasions, etc. There are lots of flavours that come with this dish. I would say there are key ingredients for this dish that makes it outstanding.

Let's dive into the ingredients for this dish.
• Rice

• Maggi/salt

• Tomatoes(fresh or paste)

• Groundnut oil

• Onions/pepper

• Goat meat

• Thyme/garlic/ginger/nutmeg

Step-by-step

I would dive straight into it.
• First, I wash my rice and put in on fire to cook to my desired texture.

• Then I go ahead and wash and season my meat for cooking.

To the cooking proper after I get all my ingredients prepared. That's wash my precooked rice, get my meat and it's stock, cut onions, pound pepper.

• In an empty pot, I add my Groundnut oil and onions and my tomatoes paste.

• When I've allowed my tomatoes to cook for a little time, I then add my meat stock with my meat and season it with nutmeg, garlic, ginger.

• Then I add my curry and allow the water to boil so I can add my rice.

• Then I stir it up but I won't let my spoon reach the under of the pot.

• When I check and it's almost dried up, I put chopped onions and butter and stir it.

I didn't eat immediately, so I had to preheat it when I returned since I rushed out after cooking..

The health benefits of jollof rice are;
• The iron in it is good for red blood cells.

• The magnesium is also good for bone health.

• The rice is a great source of carbohydrate.

• The goat meat is a good source of protein.

I would like to invite @leicorp1, @zory23 and @yelitzac to join this contest.
