Jollof rice is a beloved West African dish — the spices used vary by cook and country. The word 'Jollof' comes from the Senegalese word 'wolof,' but generally speaking refers to the rice dish across West Africa. This dynamic blend is based on chef Kwasi Kwaa’s Ghanaian heritage. It also celebrates the Jollof Festival, a traveling event honoring West African cuisine.
Hi Dave! Susan from the Curio kitchen, here.
Thanks for being in touch. You’re right that Scotch Bonnet and Habanero chillies are very closely related and similar in many ways. However, SBs are generally sweeter and Habaneros are less sweet and (usually) a bit less hot. That said, both ARE very hot chillies. ;o)
You could totally use a milder chile — say a Chile de Arbol or milder still, Jalapeño.
I hope you try making the Jollof Rice — chef Kwasi’s recipe is delicious.
The scotch bonnet is the same chile as the habanero, Perhaps you meant Jalapeno?
