Rooted in West African tradition, this meal shines a light on jollof—long-grain rice simmered in a blend of tomatoes, peppers, and aromatics until rich and red-hued. It meets its match with ground beef, sizzled in smoked paprika, thyme, and epis—a punchy pepper-packed marinade layered with garlic and onion. Peas are folded through for a touch of green, while a side of golden-fried plantains adds a soft, sweet contrast to the dish’s savory base.
