Thieboudienne is Senegal’s national dish and the Wallof word literally translates as “red rice and fish”. This flavour packed rice dish will leave you wanting more.

  1. When somebody told me that Nigerian Jollof was not the original, I was super shocked. When I went to Senegal, I didn't expect there to be so much variation, but it is amazing how much the dish has changed, as cultures and ethnic groups adopted their way of making it!

    The first time I tasted Thiep, if I hadn't been told that it was the original Jollof I wouldn't have guessed it. So many new and different flavors together in one dish. But I looovveee it! Especially the tamarind 🤤to the side. You put a LOT of work into this dish, tysm for sharing! If I can ever find all the ingredients to make some for myself and family, I definitely will be following this recipe.

  2. Greetings from Vancouver, Canada.

    I would love to make this dish—unfortunately momoni fish is impossible to find in my city. Is there any other ingredient that can be used in its place? Many thanks ❤

  3. I love this we are going to win on our cultureral day , please we need you to please come to Nigeria tomorrow and help us to cook but we don't have money you can get some thing to come and cool thank you.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  4. My name is Confidence, Watching from Cape Verde. I love the arrangement, but I am lost at some point. I have been interested in knowing how to make this. I will go ahead and try it out now

  5. Jollof (DJOLOF) is a Senegalese region and Senegal is sometimes called "Jolof" by it's people because of the kingdom of "Jolof" also known as Great Jolof, or the Wolof Empire (12th century). However the best jolof rice is not from the Jolof region but from the north of Senegal in Saint-Louis du Sénégal or Ndar. when I see the Nigerians and the Ghanaians arguing about it I burst out laughing.

  6. Ghana and Nigerian jollof are simple to make and economical too but Senegalese jollof has alot of ingredients and vegetable which aren't so economical if you really want to make Senegal jollof.. Using so many stuff to cook jollof rice tell me why it won't turn out so sweet.. The main question now is removing all those plenty vegetables Senegalese use you'll find that there's no much different so I still stand by nigeria jollof

  7. Sub-Saharans need more education and historians about their culinary history. Majority of what Sub-Saharans gloat as traditional is from the ‘Columbian exchange’ (starting from the late 15th century) — tòmátì 🍅 peppers 🌶️ ata tàtàṣé 🫑 àgbàdo/ìjẹ́rẹ́ 🌽 are all from the Americas. Other ingredients and jewellery got introduced from trade between West Africa and Arabia via the Maghreb (i.e. North Africa) e.g. àlùbọ́sà (🇮🇶 )🧅 ayù (🇵🇹 alho) 🧄 ìlẹ̀kẹ̀ iyùn (المرجان الأحمر), ẹ̀lú (النيلة). 🇸🇳 Thiébou (i.e. Jollof) DOES NOT originate from Senegal or from the Gambia or from the Wolof ppl. Making a rice one-pot dish of various vegetables and spices is not an invention of one people. In S. Asia it is called पुलाव (pulao) {🇬🇧pilau 🇺🇸pilaf}. Native African rice (Oryza glaberrima) is home in the Niger River and all associated countries historically has formed their own one-pot with rice. The reason it is called Jollof is because Senegal was the first stop by the Portuguese that mistakenly used the name to refer to any W. African rice one-pot. Thanks to Dinis Dias, West Africans have been fighting a nonsensical Jollof war. Make your rice one-pot however you wish. Senegalese are not the owners nor authority. Their style of the one-pot is unrelated to Ghana, to Nigeria and to Mauritania.

  8. Ohh That looks sooo good my mouth is watering, wish I could taste it. I would like to learn to make this, would leave out 1 or 2 things but basically everything else. I love jollof rice I make it once a week, sometimes I eat it just like that without anything by the side. I put my own spin on it as a Trinidadian and my family loves it.

  9. I am stumped when two west african nations always beef over whose "Jollof" is better, when the evidence is quite clear from the etymology of the word itself.
