Spicy Crayfish Jollof Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the rice. Cook for about 10 minutes until partially cooked, then drain and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same pot, add a little oil and sauté the grinded pepper for about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the jollof rice spice, thyme, and seasoning cubes to the pot. Stir well to combine.

5. 5

   Add the crayfish to the pot and mix thoroughly.

6. 6

   Return the partially cooked rice to the pot and stir to ensure the rice is well coated with the spice mixture.

7. 7

   Add enough water to cover the rice, then add salt to taste. Stir gently.

8. 8

   Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

9. 9

   Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
