Amens Jollof Paste 250g

Description

Amens Jollof Paste is a ready-made tomato and pepper base that takes the hardest part of jollof rice — the long, slow-fried stew base — and delivers it in a jar. Made from blended tomatoes, peppers, and onions cooked down the traditional way, it cuts hours of prep down to minutes without compromising on the deep, smoky-red flavour that defines a proper pot of jollof.

• Use as a stew base for any tomato-based Nigerian dish, topped up with extra pepper or onion to taste.

Storage

• Store unopened in a cool, dry cupboard.
• Once opened, refrigerate and use within the timeframe shown on the jar.

Frequently asked

Does this replace fresh tomatoes and peppers in jollof rice?

It replaces the blending and slow-frying stage — you can use it as the base and still add fresh pepper, onion, or extra tomato paste to suit your taste.

Is it spicy?

Check the pack label for spice level — most jollof pastes carry a mild to moderate heat that can be adjusted with extra scotch bonnet.
