* Direction*
First step:
Clean the fresh tomatoes,red bell pepper, hot pepper,1 onion, garlic and ginger. Then blend to cream and sent aside.
Clean and chop the other 1 onion,. Place a sauce pan ( pot) over the heat, add the vegetable oil, allow the the oil to heat a little; then add the chopped onion.
Cook the onion for 3 minutes or until they are cooked. Then add the tomatoes paste. Stir and allow the paste to cook for about 5-6 minutes or more . While they are cooking, i love to start adding all the seasoning that am using, like, Thyme, bay leaf,curry,rosemary,maggic cube,salt,crayfish and the rest of the seasonig. But you can add them after you have added the blended fresh tomatoes mixture.
So after adding the all the seasoning, and the tomatoes paste are well cooked. Add the fresh tomatoes mixture into it, stir and continue cooking them on a medium for about 15 minutes with continue stirring. You cn check out this video on my youtube channel to get a better direction.
So while the tomatoes sauce is cooking.
I love to boil a water for the rice.
So what i do is i boil water to wash the rice or i use cold water to wash it wich ever way you choose is ok, the important thi ng is that you wash the rice until the water become clean..
If you want to follow my steps. Pure the hot water over the rice and allow the ric to stay in the water for about 5-10 minutes. Then wash the hot water out of the rice and start washing it with cold water until the rice is well washed when the water become more cleaned.
After 15 minutes. Add the washed rice into the sauce and mix them very well. After mixing them, add water to the rice, make sure the water is at thesame level with the rice; Do not over water the rice the water most be at the same level with the rice for a better result..
Now this part you have to be very careful, cover the rice to start cooking but make sure that the salt is enough. Put the lid on,( Cover the pot) And reduce the heat to the lowest .( YES I SAID THE LOWEST.)
Eg: If your gas is like 1,2,3 Set the heat on the first one which is ( 1)
The rice are cooking to cook in total of hr 20 minutes if your heat are sent on the lowest.
Stir the rice after the first 30 minutes and cover them to continue cooking. The 2nd stir has to be after the another 30 minutes. Then after the last stirring which is going to be another 20 minutes which made then in total of 1hr 20 mintes. Stir and turn off the heat. serve the rice hot or cold and please for a better result you most follow the steps i give here. Don't cook your jellof rice on a high heat if you want them to come out well.
