Description

How to cook

• Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, then add to your tomato-pepper-stock base — the classic jollof method.
• Simmer covered on low heat until the rice has absorbed the stock and is tender, about 20-25 minutes — golden sella rice can take a touch longer than regular white basmati.
• Let the pot rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from moisture and pests.
