The word 'jollof' comes from the Wolof people of West Africa. They ate a dish of fried groundnuts and rice which is now known as jollof rice.
This dish originates from West Africa and features chargrilled beef, potatoes, chili, and mint. The chili adds a mild heat, while the mint imparts a bright and herbal flavor.
