Jollof

This is not a statement on the best Jollof in West Africa, but Tunde Wey's sure is impressive enough to represent the 3-time Cup of Africa winners here.

Eat like a true Super Eagle with this Nigerian-style Jollof. With a tomato and pepper base, this rice dish stands on its own, or can be accompanied by a bit of roast chicken.
