Global Neighbour: Jollof Rice with Laghos Kitchenette

Celebrate Nigerian culture with Laghos Kichenette while learning to make smoky Jollof rice. A dish that has broken boundaries and been adopted as a national dish which is prepared all over Nigeria.

This is an in-person program.  Please, do not attend if you are not feeling well.

Nigerian cuisine is a dynamic fusion of bold flavors and textures, showcasing dishes like suya, a spicy grilled meat, and fufu, a starchy accompaniment served with savory soups. Jollof rice, a vibrant and aromatic one-pot delicacy, stands out as a symbol of communal gatherings, prepared with rice cooked in a tomato-based sauce enriched with spices and hearty meats.

Presenter Information: Adebanke Disu-Adebara is the owner of Laghos African Kitchenette located in the Victoria square mall food court. Her interest in cooking started with her mom who also is a cook and caters for events in Nigeria. The ambition to go into commercial cooking arose when she arrived in Canada in 2011 and could not find a Nigerian restaurant anywhere in Saskatchewan. Laghos African Kitchenette started operating out of the Victoria Square mall food court in December 2020 and has seen an increase in patronage with interest from the different nationalities living in Regina.
