How We Get the Smoke in Party Jollof

How We Get the Smoke in Party Jollof

Firewood, timing and a heavy pot — the real party-jollof method.

Party jollof is not a flavouring. It is firewood, timing and a hot pot bottom.

Firewood first

The rice finishes over firewood, never gas. The smoke enters in the last ten minutes.

The bottom matters

A heavy pot scorches evenly. That caramelised base is folded back through, never served burnt.

Order the regular and taste the bottom grains. That is the whole lesson.
