One of the most popular meals to eat in Nigeria is jollof rice, but it can get pretty boring fast.
The best things to eat with jollof rice are proteins like chicken, beef, and fish alongside plantains, moin moin, and salad, but these are not the only options.
If you are bored with any of these, here are some food combinations you can try.

Now this isn’t rice and beans; this is different. Make your jollof rice separate from your beans, not together. Cook the beans like porridge, add oil and pepper, and then serve the beans as a side dish.
