Making Jollof Rice (A Second Attempt) 

My wife is trying your recipe at the weekend, Babatunde. Just for me and her though as the kids don't really like spice. We're really looking forward to it my friend.

You're training him up well! 😂

💛🌶

Yes but was there enough salt?

That's oddly accurate and absolute. However, having not tried this myself, I'll just take your word for it. 👍😉

Reminds me of paella

@@danm8004 Back in the 90s we had some paella freshly made on the beach in a large pan over an open fire. I miss those weekend evenings.

@@danm8004 I agree with you on that one. :-)

take it off the heat and cover it, it'll steam itself off the pan and soften the burnt bit a little. when i make rice, i purposely leave it on high for about a minute after it's done so scorch the rice at the bottom, because that's my dads favorite part. if you do it right, the burnt part should be golden brown and slightly crispy.

How is the new cooker?

@@steve323f very good.

@africa everyday, I am sorry I have not seen you (your) videos, only the one, and apologies I have not subscribed to your channel as of yet! I am pleased that you have helped Mr Mike with RU-vid content, and gained a 'Partnership' I hope to get round to browsing your content soon! Atomic shrimp, helped me through dark troubled times, so Thank you to both! ✌️

Lots of Irish in Minnesota, I would love to go to England one day and visit The Loch Ness Monster. Greetings from Tallahassee FL

Loch Ness is in Scotland. If you go there don't tell a Scots person you are in England - you might not make it home!!

@@suemowat222 SCOTLAND IS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND EG BRITAIN I KNOW MY LAND. I AM HALF SCOTTISH AND HALF IRISH ON MY MOMS SIDE. GREETINGS FROM USA

@@scottbinnie9251 Scotland is to the north of England but it is not a part of England. Both England and Scotland, with the inclusion of Wales, are situated on the island of Great Britain - so called Great because it the largest landmass in the group of surrounding islands. Britain is sometimes used interchangeably with Great Britain but I've also heard it used to describe the union between England and Wales. Together with Northern Ireland, you get the country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all devolved territories, meaning that they are governed by their own parliament (much like US states). The central government for the U.K. sits in Westminster in London, England. It governs all of England as well as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on matters which are not within the remit of the devolved parliaments (such as the decision to go to war or sign trade agreements, for example). Overall, just because you have family from this region does not mean you automatically understand its geography.

Lol, you guys have been initiated, I love it. We call it 'bottom pot' in Naija.

Indian cooking much, there, mate? 😉👍

Biryani style.. I can't see why that wouldn't work, sounds like a good idea. Also cooking in the oven with a lid could help with the sticking to the pan.

@@andersbendsen5931 Oh yes. You got it.

@@ballconei4879 Man now I want some chicken Biryani thanks for that -.- I have a few Indian co workers and one of them made some for a house party/work gathering thing and it was so bloody good.

Are you speaking Jamaican patwah it a stir

That’s odd, did you not have headphones

@@MyBoomStick1 That's odd, what makes you think that he didn't have headphones and, even if he didn't have headphones, what makes you think that his location demanded that he should have had headphones... [?]

@@stevespeck3586 I'm a woman and no I didn't have earbuds in. And no, I dont have that much of a shit work environment that I'm not allowed to listen to things outloud that aren't cursing or political/religious in nature.

@@BlueberryFundip hmmm why would something religious be controversial? If it's an uplifting sermon/speech?

What else would you do? Wear shoes in the house like a filthy savage?

i prefer pans, but each to their own

Oh no... I just cooked... In my socks... I don't normally wear shoes in my house.

@@iomtivar2031 In most latino countries you'd have to be either really stupid or looking to spread dust residues and grit around if you walk on bare feet or socks around the house

@@papayer What would you say spreads more dirt and grit. Your shoes that you wear outside through sand, dirt, rain, mud, puddles etc. or your socks that you change every day? A door mat will take care of some of that, but I'd still prefer to leave the shoes by the door. But to each their own.

I'm not sure what is the point of the chicken. The rice looked great as a meal!

You need to get them to collab on a British and Nigerian poutine lol

lmaooo

This made me laugh out loud 😂

They should do a collab

I can.

Have you ever tried heroin?

have you ever tried supporting anyone other than burton 😂

@@ballconei4879 Mike is heroin.

Have you ever had a ride?

@@HDScorpio fuck mike choose life

Mike is just really grateful for us watching his videos!

Thanks for watching and I hope to see you again soon!

Plus the ending came on before he was actually finished eating lol

Thanks for watching and I hope to see you again soon

@@AtomicShrimp you are very welcome :)

He's also a gentleman for being multiple gentlemen :)

He's the kind of guy who's good at everything he does (mildly jealous here).

I've had this fork all my adult life. I wish I could find another like it as I don't know what I would do if I lost it.

@@AtomicShrimp it takes me back to my time in the RAF. Great memories, thank you.

One of my fave sketches was by a group called 'Goodness Gracious Me' and they were Indians ordering from an English restaurant... ''I'll have the blandest thing on the menu''.. we do not tolerate heat well!

I think there's actually quite a broad spectrum of tastes in the UK. Curry is, after all, more of a British dish than, say Pizza or Hot Dogs are American - that is, curry has been on our menu for centuries. There have always been people in the UK who enjoy spicy food. My own tolerance for hot peppers has gone up a bit since meeting Babatunde though.

Or I should say, try to make this.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to start a jollof war here, but no one country has the ultimate way to prepare it this day and age. I think people discover how best they like it, some Nigerians roast their peppers (to catalyze a smokey taste) before blending, others bake their rice part way, some the entire way, some prefer to use long grain jasmin or sella basmati rice, others still, short grain. It really depends on what works for each individual and/or household, you know... I personally don't cook mine at all like how he's done, but he's continuous attempt will eventually get him to learn a technique that he's eventually comfortable with and that's how a variation is created, I think...

This is a jollof throw down seen

What does peng mean

@@PapaSeed I guess nice? "This pizza is so nice, it tastes peng."

@@mansken5007 is that in English language or a different language?

@@PapaSeed Sadly, it is apparently English.....

@@mansken5007 I am curious, why did you use a word when you aren't even sure what it means?

Always 💛

I love adding nutmeg to spaghetti bolognese or mac & cheese - but not everyone in the house does, so I keep that grinder as a table condiment

I think YOU are playing Prang.
