Place a pot of water on the stove over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. This step is crucial for parboiling the rice, which helps to partially cook it and remove excess starch, setting the stage for perfectly textured Jollof Rice.

Parboil 1 Derica of rice, drain out water and set aside.
Add one derica of rice (a common West African measurement) to the boiling water. Let it cook for a few minutes until partially softened, then drain out the water. Set the parboiled rice aside, ready to be incorporated into the dish later. Parboiling ensures the rice doesn’t become overly sticky when it’s cooked with the sauce.
