Curio Spice Collaboration: Jollof Spice Mix

Jollof rice is a beloved West African dish — the spices used vary by cook and country. The word 'Jollof' comes from the Senegalese word 'wolof,' but generally speaking refers to the rice dish across West Africa. This dynamic blend is based on Boston-based Comfort Kitchen's chef Kwasi Kwaa’s Ghanaian heritage. It also celebrates the Jollof Festival, a traveling event honoring West African cuisine.
