In this contest recipe, It will be my honor to share with you all how i make one of my favorite native Nigerian varieties of jollof rice popularly called native jollof rice or palm oil rice. It is a recipe that is generally made in one pot with some Nigerian spices and it can go together with any meat of your choice, it can fish or meat. Nigerian native jollof is much different from the normal Nigerian Jollof Rice because we use Palm oil and some other Nigerian spices.
The best part about this Nigerian Native Jollof is that you can make your recipe by adding meats like dried fish and Shrimps. Apart the palmoil, the dried fish you use in cooking this meal gives you an extra flavor while cooking Nigerian native jollof.
This native jollof rice is not just like any other Nigerian Rice recipes, Nigeria Native Jollof Rice is a very nice meal that you can cook at any time, is not a seasonal meal, so guys if you follow my steps and cook don't forget to share with us because I will be happy if yiu decides to give a try.

When the oil was hot, I added the diced onion and fry till it becomes soft then I stir for few seconds, then I added my blender pepper and crayfish and I stir it continuously so that it won't get burnt.
