Jollof Rice (Benachin)

Gambia’s Signature One-Pot Rice Dish

A rich and flavorful tomato-based rice dish cooked in a single pot with vegetables, garlic, chili, and your choice of meat or fish. Gambian Jollof, known as Benachin, meaning "one pot," is heartier and more rustic than its West African cousins — packed with bold spices and cooked with cabbage, carrots, and eggplant for extra depth.
Best Paired With: Grilled chicken, fried fish, or a side of salad and spicy shito.
