A carefully layered tomato and pepper base, built the way jollof has always been built, ready to bring home. Add rice, add stock, and let the pot do the rest.


IDAPO Jollof Sauce is a tomato and pepper base built from tinned tomatoes, red and sweet pointed peppers, onion, scotch bonnet, garlic, ginger and a considered blend of spices. It is the part of jollof that takes the most time, prepared so you don’t have to.
Fry it, add rice and stock, and you have a pot of jollof rice with the depth of a slow-built base. One 300ml jar makes approximately 3–4 servings.
Tomatoes, peppers and aromatics, cooked down with spice, so the base carries weight from the first spoonful.
Skip the chopping, blending and hours at the stove. Fry, add rice and stock, and cook as usual.
Sized for a proper family portion, made for the meals that bring people around one pot.
Straightforward instructions on the jar and on our How to Use page, from first fry to final plate.
