I make some pretty darn good jollof rice,not to blow my own horns or anything.lmao
I use very little fresh tomatoes,VERY little cos tomatoes tend to give that sour taste and add too much moisture to the rice.
ingredients

So, I use like a 4:1 bell pepper to tomatoes ratio.very little tomatoes
hot peppers (ata rodo)
Onions
Curry,thyme,rosemary leaves,bay leaves,maggi,salt to taste
Canned tomato paste (I use this bcos it adds that rich red color and flavor to it)
Chicken stock
Rice-preferably parboiled rice,

-Blend the peppers,onions,stock.use very little water in blending
-Steam the pepper mixture(so most of the pepper can evaporate)
Slice onions into thin rings, fry onion rings in vegetable oil
-Add condiments-curry,maggi,thyme,rosemary and bay leaves to frying onion rings(I find that rosemary leaves give it somewhat of an edgy naija party rice taste).Also, the spiced oil/onions kinda adds to the taste.
-Add d pepper mix to the onion mix,pretty much fry the pepper (like ur making fried stew). Let it cook for a while.taste ur stew and add add'l condiments as needed.
-rinse ur parboiled rice and add to pepper mix.So u cook the rice in the pepper mix like
the stew was water to cook the ricein.
-Add sliced tomato rings to garnish
-Let it cook for abt 10mins(just nuff for d tomatoe rings to soften) and place in preheated oveen abt 375deg to cook.
-U may then add water/oil intermittently as needed for moisture.

I find that those cast iron/aluminium pots give it a different homely taste,for some reason.Also, cooking in oven gives it that burnt taste without u losing like half of ur rice.lol.Key is to minimize use of fresh tomatoes cos red bell peppers give it that rich,red look and taste.hope it works.
