Empty the entire contents of the jar of Aunty Yinka's Jollof Sauce into a large saucepan

Fill the empty jar with water, shake well to mix any remaining sauce, and then pour this mixture into the saucepan.

Additionally, fill another half of the jar with water and pour it into the saucepan, ensuring a total of 500ml of water in the saucepan.

3. Simmer the Sauce:

Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavours.

4. Prepare the Rice:

While the sauce is simmering, wash 400 grams of rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and set it aside.

5. Add Rice to the Sauce:

Once the sauce is simmering, add the washed rice to the saucepan, stirring gently to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the sauce.

For added richness and flavour, you can add 25 grams of butter to the saucepan. Stir it into the rice and sauce mixture until it melts and blends in.

7. Cover and Cook:

Cover the saucepan with a lid or aluminium foil to trap the steam and heat. Let the rice cook over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

8. Optional Steaming:

After the initial cooking time, you can optionally let the rice steam for an additional 5 minutes off the heat. This helps to ensure a fluffy and well-cooked texture.
