Egusi Jollof Rice using leftovers

Egusi Jollof rice is a dish I make very often. It is simple, scrumptious, convenient, inviting, quick and easy to make. It is made with leftover rice and Egusi soup.

Egusi soup is one of the universal soups we have in Nigeria. There are so many ways to prepare it, Egusi Soup with Tomato Sauce, Fried Egusi Soup, Lumpy Egusi Soup etc. Each will be good for Egusi Jollof rice.

Egusi soup is mostly eaten with a form of ‘swallow‘ in Nigeria but most of my children will rather eat theirs with rice than with swallow of any type. So when Egusi soup is on the menu, there will be both white rice and swallow as accompaniments.

This dish was born out of convenience and a belief in waste-not-want-not.
