Buea Coconut Joloffe Rice (Cameroon)

This is a vegetarian joloffe rice – the fresh vegetables added to the sauce can vary or be substituted with frozen mixed vegetables. This Cameroonian-style joloffe rice is made with coconut milk and in the Cameroons it is usually cooked with meat. Basmati rice, although not traditionally used, makes delicious joloffe and requires less liquid when cooking. From cdkitchen.
