Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Agidi jollof is the street-food cousin of plain agidi (eko), the set corn-starch pudding: the same corn paste cooked with a rich red pepper stew and its bony meat stock, so it comes out orange and savoury and sets in a leaf wrap with a soft piece of bony meat hidden inside. It is what jollof rice is to white rice. Hawkers sell it wrapped in uma leaves, warm, with a cold drink, and at home it is served as lunch with fried plantain.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
