so this dish is definitely a party rice it just makes you want to get up and dance hi my name is tay and today i’m going to be making my family’s recipe for ghanaian jollof rice childhood rice is a west african dish where the rice is cooked in a tomato stew growing up as a ghanaian in london no matter what party i went to there was always gelato west whether it was a wedding a christening or even someone’s 16th birthday party a ghanaian party without jalapenos is like a wedding without the cake although they look small these peppers pack a serious punch so if heat’s not for you be careful how much you use either one day when visiting ghana i went to an aunt’s house and she cooked a lot of rice i don’t know how much pepper she put in it but my whole face went red i was sweating usually the jaloft rice will be cooked by aunts even grandparents well they’ll cook it in big pots that usually need to be carried by about two people into the venue there’ll be music playing in the background the kids will be running around laughing giggling every family gathering will get lively people be drinking eating and dancing and just laughing the whole night food some countries just put everything in the blender and cook it at once my mom cooks it in pot and a big difference is that she also adds vegetables if i know you and you haven’t eaten jalopoli with my family we’re probably not friends growing up in the uk food played a vital role in bringing a family together and just reminding us about our culture no matter where you’re from in west africa jalapenos is just something that you can always expect at a party and when you’re clearing up you can always expect to find grains on the dance floor mum would be fouled hi my name is keanu and today i’ll be making kenyan pull out pulao is one of those dishes that really shows the diversity in kenya within our food for masai people we don’t use a lot of spices as maybe people on the coastal part of kenya but i love playing around with spices so i had just a little bit to make it a little bit more exciting so when developing my own recipe for palau i really just channeled in all the best play i’ve ever had now the best palaus i’ve ever had always always always have meat and potato i don’t know what it is about that double starch thing but when i have plow without potato it just feels wrong i think the thing i love about kenyan parties is that it’s always about food our parties aren’t one of those where you turn up and then food is ready then you eat that’d be a very short party if you just turned up to eat because then what would you do all the parties that i’ve been to the cooking is happening during the party it’s almost like the cooking is the party itself people are out back they’re grilling they’re barbecuing they’re hanging out around what’s being cooked to socialize and honestly i think the best parties revolve around food [Music] all right now it’s time to party hi my name is amal and today i’ll be making my family’s recipe for somali paris paris is a dish which literally translates into rice it has a lot of ways that it’s made typically it consists of rice a bunch of spices and some type of meat on top but is made by a lot of people my family every time i have it it’s a little different depending on who makes it it’s one of those dishes that is hard to get wrong so if you do get it wrong probably aren’t a good cook no shade the spice blend that’s typically used for somali buddhist dishes is called hawaj which literally translates into spices buddies can be served at a variety of parties i think one of the most important parties that it’s served out as weddings so you’re at a somali wedding typically a lot later than you bargained for the bride or groom is not there it’s like 11 p.m but some nice amazing person has decided to get the food out early you’re ecstatic and what’s the first thing they bring out the buddhist i don’t think i’ve ever been to a somali wedding without baris maybe the bougie ones the raisins are my favorite part it’s always a topping that really completes the dish the food coloring on the fries isn’t a mandatory step but it just makes the fries look more fun and everyone wants to have fun with the buddies i did not make the connection that these were also french fries for a really long time i was like these are just fun potatoes we eat on top of our buddies community is a huge part of the somali culture and this dish is reminiscent of that my mom and my aunt helped me learn this dish that’s another reason why the bond family is so important especially through food the end-all be-all of somali dish is the banana you can’t have badis without banana and i don’t care who tells you otherwise it’s what makes it the most special tastes like home hi i’m kiki canuto and today i’m showing you how to make my family’s cape verdean arrows merisku traditionally we use calamari or octopus we put in a lot of shrimp and mussels as well to have right on top those are kind of the three staple ingredients that we have in this type of rice so you can find this dish at just about any cape variation party we love having some sort of rice dish present we actually have multiple dishes of rice there cape ford is definitely a party country and i think a lot of west african cultures celebrate food really really big and really really loud cape road is no exception to that it’s a country that thrives off of its music its food and its hospitality which i think is very similar to a lot of west african countries at any cape ferdinan party you can find a whole bunch of your cousins cousins you haven’t even known about so you’ll meet your cousins for the first time there you’ll meet your aunts uncles grandparents usually you’ll just be walking around to tables and greeting everyone saying hi giving them kisses on the cheeks so your rice is going to be a little bit more sticky than you think at the end of the dish we add a little bit of the broth that we make with the seafood mixture once everyone’s eaten which is obviously the most important part of the party everyone will be on the dance floor so you’ll be dancing with your grandma your grandpa anyone it’s really really loud the energy is super upbeat and vibrant and it just makes you want to get up and dance [Music] oh yes [Music] this
