Occasionally,
one needs to give the classic Jollof rice some rest or maybe give it an
upgrade. In this video, Kikifoodies whips up a delicious Peri Peri Jollof rice recipe, perfectly paired with grilled fish and crispy
fried plantains.
The magic of this dish lies in the Peri Peri sauce. Kikifoodies
roasts peppers, onions, and garlic for a smoky depth, then blends them with
thyme, chicken seasoning cubes, salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and sugar to
balance the flavours. She divides the sauce in two: one part to infuse the rice
with, and the other to marinate the fish.
The rest of the cooking process follows a familiar Jollof routine.
While the rice simmers on low heat, Kikifoodies seasons the fish with the
reserved Peri Peri sauce and prepares it for the oven. The result is a dish of
Peri Peri Jollof rice, perfectly grilled tilapia fish, and golden-brown fried
plantains.
