So most likely sallah would fall on Friday 15th of June which is tomorrow, and as Nigerians rice is mainly our meal for every event or festival...Lol so here's my own Nigerian jollof rice recipe and the step to step procedure:
Ingredients
1)  4cups of rice (depending on the amount of people you're cooking for).
2) Pepper and tomatoes (I use atarodo for mine).
3) Beef or chicken
4) Carrots,green peas,sweet corns.
5) Sausage and liver.(optional).
6) Vegetable or groundnut oil
7) 2 bulbs of onions( depends on you thou cause I love onions).
8) Maggi,salt and other seasoning (nutmeg,curry, thyme,etc.. Sometimes I use this grounded hausa seasoning the ones they use for suya).
9) Garlic and ginger ( I use the already packaged paste most times).
10) Tomato paste ( to give it that very red colour).

Preparation
Parboil the rice (Just to remove excess starch).
After washing the meat or chicken and season it with the above seasoning, put on fire.
When done preserve the chicken or meat stock.
Fry your chicken or beef.
Dice your liver,sausage carrot into small sizes.
Blend your pepper and tomatoes(leave extra tomatoes for later).
Put oil on fire,put in your diced sausage,liver,sweet corn,green peas,onions and stir.
Pour in the blended pepper,tomato paste ,salt,maggi,garlic,ginger,your other seasonings and stir.
Pour in your meat stock and the parboiled rice and stir from down upwards..( its advisable to use a ladle).
For the remaining onion and tomatoes sliced it in small rings and place it over the rice (optional)
Let it simmer for like 15-20 minutes ( checking it occasionally thou to see if it needs water..
And that's just my own process of making jollof riceπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€,you could serve it with plantain or coleslaw or eat it alone.
