Jollof is traditionally a West African spicy red rice dish flavored with tomatoes, red peppers, chilies, spices, and onions. Sometimes with meat, fish, shellfish, or vegetables cooked in it. In addition, you'll find this dish from Senegal to Nigeria cooked in their way. And for the pilaf recipe, I wanted to ensure the Jollof-flavored fonio paired well with the mushroom by adding tomatoes, onion, and red bell peppers.
