mixing green amaranth with my cooked jollof rice
dry frying washed and salted soft chicken
Dry frying because the soft chicken has a lot of fat which is going to seep out and fry it
the chicken parts continue to dry fry while the rice cooks
The chicken is dry frying itself while the rice boils and cooks
yummy serving of green jollof rice
fresh and healthy green jollof rice
NOTE:Turn off the heat and leave the pot open after mixing the vegetables, to prevent the tender green from getting over cooked. This green jollof rice can also be served with coated chicken.
