Macaroni is one of my favorite foods. Cooking macaroni can happen in different ways and it has to do with the ingredients I have at hand. Today, I have some of my veggies with me which I will be cooking without my macaroni.
Let’s all make a typical Nigerian Jollof Macaroni.

Ingredients

Macaroni
Pepper
Veg.oil
Veggies (Carrot & Spring onions)
Maggi
Salt

I said earlier that I was making a typical Nigerian Jollof Macaroni and this is the reason why I had to boil my Macaroni with some eggs beside it so that I don’t get to waste my cooking gas.

It’s important to note that Macaroni easily gets soft so I took it off fire when it was exactly five minutes of boiling so that it will not get too soft for the Jollof just as you can see in the picture.

Whenever we say the word Jollof, we simply mean that a food which is mixed with pepper. I blended my pepper which will be going into the pot immediately the vegetable oil and my veggies gets hot and fried.
While my pepper was getting blended, I was cutting my veggies at the same time. Let’s have a look at my pepper and veggies.

I’m not a fan of too much Maggi or spices in food. I only added a little amount of Maggi with a measured amount of spices. This depends on the size of your food. I cooked mine for three people so I checked the quantity of my seasonings in general before adding them to the pepper mix.

The next step is pouring my Macaroni into the pepper mix then I continue to mix it gently by making sure that the Macaroni doesn’t break because that’s the beauty of the food.

Once that’s done, we are now left with dishing our food inside the plate and having the best of it. This is how I dished my food today and my Nigerian Jollof Macaroni is ready to be eaten.
