Maybe the most popular dish in West Africa, this recipe for rice infused in a rich tomato-pepper broth is unifying and dividing all at once, with everyone claiming their take on it as the definitive version. Ours takes the best flavours with the addition of charring the peppers in the recipe before puréeing, to help add a smokiness to this jollof ‘party’ rice. If you’d rather keep it more traditional, skip the roasting and just use raw peppers instead
