yes, when ur comfortable with making it or get real good at it, then u can costomize it. there's many different ways to make jollof rice. u can make it with/out vegetable. sum basic ways u can also make with pea/corn mix, but not no cabbage. lol.

fresh parsley
cilantro
ham
lettuce
hard-boiled egg
the vegetables are extras and we rarely use string beans unless it's with the pack of vegetables. of course u can use the eggs, but it's not part of our basic ingredients.

afri
i usually DON'T come to GG"S defending
she rarely needs it wid dat yap of hers

do remember she lives on aruba
which is still sorta dutch
and the dutch at one time controlled lots of east India and Malaysia and SE asia and SE africa so their versions of formerly East African dishes have influences from many parts of the world
the eggs, green beans and cabbage i would say is from the Malaysian influence dem use those things in every freaking thing

**** you should see the spread dem make for a curry dish

i hated cleaning up after mi dutch gf when she made curry

My wife is Liberian so I both cook and collect a whole bunch of African and West African recipes. These are all freely available at:

Celtnet African Recipes
Celtnet West African Recipes

And, yes, I do cook these myself. In fact, if you look at the Liberian recipes (and you really like very hot peppers) then many are my wife's authentic recipes from that country.

(p.s, we need a food related smiley.)

Brethren,
