Pairing Jollof Rice correctly — a note on Malt Guinness

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Jollof Rice. I ordered it with Malt Guinness and the smoky and warming elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. fermented dawadawa in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the debate over Ghanaian versus Nigerian jollof rice is a celebrated West African rivalry. The a family Sunday fufu meal is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Jollof Rice with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
